Switch is now just a hair from being 2 and a half years old (where does the time go?). I'm going to assume it too will have a rather large lifespan of at least 6-7 years. Definitely more than the previous norm of five which seems to be the case for very successful consoles, though it depends if Nintendo feels any pressure from the PS5 and Scarlett to get moving quicker, probably not.
So where does Nintendo go from there then? Switch is a monster hit, proving Nintendo made the brilliant call of going with a hybrid home console and portable system, but can they just beef up the hardware, slap a 2 on the logo and call it a day? I'd be totally down with that. It's a good setup and I think Nintendo can easily just cruise on another gen with the setup, just now prioritizing power with MAYBE 8K docked output and a 1080p screen (do we really need a 4K screen within 10 years?). Really native 4K docked would be more than enough for me, I think 4K would be a big bump over Switch's not exactly common 1080p output and is absolutely the norm and will be for quite a few years. if anything Sony and MS might again be rushing it to try and go native 8K. I dunno, just feels like it, with 8K TVs now only really being the token "burn lots of money and show it off" sort of thing with literally nothing to take advantage of it today to my knowledge.
I don't really see a whole lot Nintendo can add to the Switch 2 gimmick-wise without risking it being unessesary. I don't see Nintendo making a fully realized VR system ala PlayStation VR when Labo VR is a seemingly decent cheap alternative that when refined with Switch 2 could be perfected... maybe. Maybe you guys have some ideas in this regard that I'd love to hear.
Where do you see Nintendo going with their next system? When do you see it coming out? I can only hope we won't go through an NX 2.0 no news for years hype cycle again. :P
