Nintendo Switch 2 Tech Performance Discussion

After owning the Switch 2 for one year.

1) main problem is the dock falls forward easily (bad design, the rubber feet are not forward enough) and scratches my screen, the screen is not resistant to scratches, and it is not easy to or cheap to repair, FIX THE DOCK NINTENDO, you should not need a screen protector for a docked console

2) disappointed that it is 8nm, battery life is bad, would like a 4nm revision as soon as possible, will sell my current one and upgrade

3) more third party games need 40 fps modes, for example Split Fiction, and more games need patch updates like Mario and Luigi and more 120fps patches for Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros

4) oled upgrade please

those 4 things (particularly more 40 and 120fps support) would go a long way

The system would also probably cost an easy $100-$150 more with all of those features (pricier node, giant OLED display). Nintendo chose a good mix of being reasonable while still having a very powerful piece of kit that can run modern gen PS5/XBSX games like FF7 Rebirth and Indiana Jones. 

Enthusiasts will always want more and more tech but a lot of them don't want to pay extra either and Nintendo is not in the business of selling hardware that caps out at 30-50 million units anymore. Given the explosion in pricing due to AI datacenters, I'm extremely happy with what we got, if this happened 3 years prior or something there's a good chance we would have gotten a scaled back chip, as is we got a machine that can play absurdly high end games on the go without much fuss. 

 Nintendo right now is probably selling the hardware right around cost or maybe even slightly under cost.
