I think that if the switch 2 has the same power as the series S, it'll be a slam dunk. However if we are looking at ps4 power, i'm pretty sure it'll need a gimmick otherwise its just going to be a first party machine. Third party is really just starting to move to the next gen and if its a 2025 release, 2 years later the ps6 comes out. 2 years and it'll be 2 generations behind, add to that, sony will be realising a handheld along with xbox and no doubt 2 years later there will be saturation in the handheld market. They can't afford for this to be only a first party machine man. It needs to be at least series S power or have an amazing gimmick and it feels like we've run out of gimmick ideas. This really is a make or break nintendo moment, you might think they will do fine with first party alone but the reality is that the hardware isn't making that much profit. Share holders are gonna scrutinize returns and if they don't do too well in hardware and it turns out they can make more selling to all platforms....thats the nintendo hardware killer. I wonder...
Yeah it’s really gonna be a make or break with them, and I agree with you on the thought that they’ve run out of gimmicks. However, as always I’ll be pleasantly surprised to be blown away with whatever they decide to do next.
I hope they don't get rid of the rail on the joycon, but just make it better. Doesn't lose connection. Imagine one handing the switch for whatever reason and it just pops off and you're holding the joycon with a broken switch on the floor
