Let this be true.
Nintendo can't do as well as they did with the swtich without a failure somewhere. Such as the way of the Nintendo universe. Wii U, Virtual Boy, Game Cube. I think they are due.

I can’t be the only one thinking finally…
The Switch was reasonably powered at launch but now feels positively antiquated compared to the Steam Deck and the like, there is no way I would buy any third party games on it right now when I’ve got a PS5 sitting right next to it.
All I need is a good spec bump to get games running at 1440p / 60fps in docked mode to make me happy!
1080p games upscale really well on even my few year old cheaper TCL Roku TV. If we could get 1080p 60 FPS more steadily, that would be good enough, and I'd imagine most of their audience wouldn't care about the extra pixels.
1080p/30 is the max they'll do, and is sufficient for 95% of users.

These fuckin cunts just 2 months ago claimed there is no next gen console in the works
I remember back in the 90s N64 magazines were always posting rumors about the "Dolphin" console that Nintendo was supposed to be developing, which eventually became the Gamecube. Nintendo also was more open back then, with their famous Mario 128 tech demo for example. Also the Nintendo DD rumors were huge as well, which turned out to be a big failure and never released outside of Japan.
I mean, they kind of have to do that, or else you get the Osborne Effect where everyone just waits for the new version, and your business suffers.
Steam Deck + Switch = Switch 2. Probably better hardware, and not much else besides some nifty software gimmicks
