"If you look at the design of the thing it is essential a PRO console with added features."

The 3DS looks a lot like the DS, but it's not a DS Pro.
The PS Vita looks a lot like the PSP, but it's not a PSP Pro.

This even happened with a home console:

The Series S looks a lot like the Xbox One S, but it's not a Xbox One S Pro.

"3DS is the most similar thing but Sony could add mouse control or new haptics to the PS5 PRO, add in two or three exvlusives and call it PS5 2 and it would be the exact same thing. Even the UI is the same or to think more easily about it the ps4 which actually had the same purpose of reaching 4k or something close to it."

lol no

A PS5 Pro is still a PS5. It plays the same games and it's impossible for you to make a PS5 Pro exclusive. The Switch 2 already has exclusives from the get-go.

I believe both the Xbox One and Series X have the same UI. The Series X is still the XB1 successor. The PS3 and PSP also shared the XMB interface, yet they were distinct consoles.

"What I'm saying is, if th8s fails their thinking is to lean back in the Switch, they can go ahead with it as a successor if it gains traction."

They didn't lean back to the Wii or the DS when the Wii U died in 2013 and the 3DS struggled early on. These two were also direct successors in the same vein as the Switch 2. This isn't happening.

"Just don't be surprised when Nintendo create the longest cross gen period every seen in console gaming as an inbetween and Switch 2 exclusive end up on the Switch. MK World is just a Switch game that is ported up, they have said as much."

I do think there'll be a long cross gen period but only for smaller games, ports/remasters, and indies. The big games will be Switch 2 exclusives, and this already started with Mario Kart at launch.

Mario Kart World is a full blown Switch 2 game that began development as a Switch 1 game, not a Switch 1 game ported up.

I just can't believe I'm even discussing this. Nothing you've said has any basis in reality.

So essentially they have completely fucked themselves and if this fails they have to completely reorganise the company again. If it fails what are they going to do? It's not like they are hurting for money and they can get through it but if their now handheld and combined console fail...what exactly does that look like? If the economy is stagnant then people will stay on the Switch, this isn't back then this is a new scenario of things that are completely stacked against them for any move forward if it fails or underperforms to leaning back on the Switch, maybe they didn't realise that at the point of the Switch 2's conception and if they didn't figure it out half way they had to have read the signs in the last year or two... or perhaps not, maybe they only figured it out as Trump made moves. Idk, I just see indecision in the Switch 2... or maybe that's an industry wide thing, improve on what's good and don't stir things up. 

...still, I see decisions in the Switch 2 of not knowing what direction to go at some point in it's development, images of suits scratching their heads come to mind when I view it broadly now. 

Their direction is clear; they are sticking with the hybrid form factor that proved enormously popular, and doing a standard successor console with a generational leap in power and a simple self-explanatory name.

It's the logical course of action and it has worked for decades.
