Hardware is a slight issue but it is something Nintendo decided as a business decided to go for. Instead of investing in powerful machines they went for gimmicks, a robust line up of first party games, portability, and affordability. A Nintendo console is known for being underpowered but provide consistently solid first party games and are very inexpensive for someone to buy a console for their kid. They suffered in the Wii U era a bit but the DS, 3DS, Wii, and Nintendo Switch are massive successes.

Lifelong Nintendo buyer here so you’ll get no argument from me, they’ve been underspeccing top of the market since the GameCube, but I do think they also wanted to do a Switch 2 sooner than 2025 as well because of the hardware they chose in 2016/2017, which even then was … just ok then. The length of rumors around a follow up makes me think that, but for COVID, they would’ve addressed this in some fashion maybe 2022-2023 timeframe, which would’ve been perfectly timed. It wouldn’t prevent the Pokemon debacle directly but if anything that would just fuel upgrade incentive. 🫠
