I can’t see how they could possibly market a “Switch 2” handheld successfully.
The average parent/consumer isn’t going to understand or care about slightly updated graphics or hardware. It’d have to be something fundamentally different.
I keep hearing this argument when it’s about Nintendo, but it never happens with the other companies. What Sony and Microsoft do is upgrade the hardware and change the aesthetic of the console, and that’s about it. The reason the Wii U failed is because it felt like an accessory (marketing focused on the pad and the actual console was very similar to the original Wii).
I don’t think they can do anything that isn’t hybrid now.
I can’t see how they could possibly market a “Game Boy Advance” handheld successfully. It’d have to be something fundamentally different from the Game Boy Colour. 😉
For the average consumer, it’s all about the games. If the next platform has awesome games you can’t play on the current-gen platform, it’ll sell. (Well, barring some disastrous marketing…)
