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.
