For Nintendo, the main purpose is to put a dent in piracy.

You can bet your ass anti-piracy measures will be the biggest upgrades made to the console.

Switch games were being emulated quickly after release and there's a lot of PCs with the same form factor now that are technically beefy enough to emulate stuff. (*looks at SteamDeck)

This breaks the previous emulation cycle and gives them a chance to boost anti-piracy measures since they're clearly not beefing up the Switch 2 to PC hardware standards.

The hardware will defnitely be emulatable on other systems, so they have to dump everything into anti-piracy measures.

I mean they don't have to but this is Nintendo we are talking about here.
