More power, better ergonomics and backwards compatible, that's all it needs.
-
All I care about is backwards compatibility. As long as Switch 2 does that then everything else is a bonus.
-
Nintendo has a strong track with handhelds. The Switch 2 will be fine especially since there are no other handheld consoles (Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, etc. are PCs, not consoles).
-
If it is another hybrid console, and they price it at $350, then maybe. At $400, it could break 100M lifetime sales with the right games, but I doubt it will reach the success of the Switch. (If they introduce a strategic price cut later down the line, that may help sales enough to match the Switch as well.) They will also need to give it lots of time on the market, just like they have with the Switch.

The real question is what is underneath that beanie??? I’m beginning to think this man has no ears…
-
I was in the middle of early family life when the switch launched so money was tight and it took 5 years for a purchase of a switch and BotW to become available in the budget. Kids are older and things have have changed, I can't wait to pre-order the next system.
-
I’m definitely getting the switch 2 when it drops. Not even concerned about the games it comes out with. I waited years to get a switch. Won’t make that mistake again. I own a ps5 but it’s for watching movies I guess 😒
-
The switch 2 could surpass the switch if it's powerful and has other things that would make it nicer to have.
-
As long as they don't name it the switch 2 they should be fine. Despite the fact that the Wii U was a good product it was very confusing for the general consumer. Working at Toys R Us I can assure you that a lot of people thought the Wii U was just an add-on as a touch screen control for the Wii
-
I'm excited for the Switch 2 to release just so YouTubers can stop speculating about it.
-
As long as the switch 2 can play switch 1 games with higher fps and graphics it WILL be a success
-
I’m not planning on buying the switch 2 until the mid cycle refresh.
-
Aint nobody acknowledging those extra units sold for PS2 out of nowhere 😂
-
I hope Nintendo learned from the WiiU era, and instead introducing some new gimmicks to the switch, they should just improve the specs and fix the issues like stickdrift etc. I think people are really used to the concept as it is today and everyone seems familiar with it. Ppl just want a more powerful console. I think a simple specs bumbed up switch will be more successful than a switch with some new gimmicks no one asked for
-
I don’t think the Switch 2 is going to live up to the sales of the original Switch, but it doesn’t need to. I believe Nintendo is trying to market the Switch 2 as a hardcore gamers’ Switch that’s considerably more powerful and could compete with most of the other consoles on the market. Metroid Prime 4 alone is a compelling reason why a Switch upgrade would be so enticing for a gamer like me.
-
I doubt it. Hard to match a phenomenon. I could still see it clearing 100 mill sold though.
-
You make a good point about affordability! Based on this alone its difficult to claim that it will surpass the OG Switch.
-
I have a day one launch switch I had for a LONGGGGG time till the TotK Oled came out, due to my love for Zelda and the fact the Oled upgrade woulda been great I instantly pre ordered it when I could. I also might buy the Switch Lite Zelda Edition just for the sakeds of it being Zelda lol
-
Getting a Switch 2 for sure can't wait for the next Mario Oddysey, SMB Wonder, Metroid, Zelda, Xenoblade, Luigi's Mansion
-
Very insightful. Makes me think that Nintendo would not want to make the switch 2 backwards compatible with the switch.
