That said, I won't be buying Nintendo's newest trash. I'm pretty done with supporting their massively hostile approach to consumers. But even so, I'm not doubting that should they actually market this fucking thing, that they'll convince enough people with their strong IP to fork over another couple of thousands on a garbage system.
How soon they forget. Switch was turning into a dead-walking console. And then Nintendo was LUCKY that the COVID pandemic hit.
Suddenly, parents decided that a thing to occupy the kids, with its own screen, was liquid gold. (And 3DS units started selling like hotcakes too, same reason).
Nintendo took the influx of money and started begging, pleading, and dumping wads of cash on indie developers from Steam to port to the Switch. Because they finally realized that the Lamecube, the Wii, and the Wii V2 Eww had zero 3rd party support save for pure fucking shovelware.
They were LITERALLY OVER THE MOON to have convinced Bethesda to give them a modless port of Skyrim, a decade after the original release. That's how lame the Switch was until desperate parents needed a "shut up and play your Game Boy" console during Covid.
The Switch 2 will be the Wii Eww all over again.
