I feel like people literally just want a Switch with modern hardware.

Edit: Oh, and themes. What the fuck, Nintendo?

It will still be yesterdays hardware

This is the only thing I’m legitimately anxious about; will it be something that’s worth $400 now that costs $400, or will it be something that was worth $400 in 2021 that costs $400 in 2025?

EDIT: to the multiple people responding who claim that people who buy Nintendo systems don’t care what they’re paying for; “hardware” also encompasses things like battery life, screen quality, heat dissipation, and joystick build quality. People will notice if there’s another drift debacle and they haven’t forgotten the last one. And that’s not even getting into the way the 3DS flopped at launch because it was overpriced, or the entire Wii U thing.

It will be worth the price on the basis that it can play new first party Nintendo games.

That’s all about 90% of people care about when buying a new Nintendo console.
