If your entire business model depends on you maintaining a closed ecosystem, then you're greedy, against people's freedoms, and have a morally bankrupt (but monetarily lucrative) business model. That's Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft's Xbox in a nutshell.

GAMIR3DH, 09 Jan 2025Best selling =/= better.
Look at iPhones as exampleWhile true, in the context of games consoles it still is better for consumers to be on a more popular platform because developers will then target that platform for more releases.
Also, while a windows handheld PC will definitely be better on paper, it's unlikely that many games will be developed specifically for the hardware in mind. So you will be somewhat stuck with hoping that the PC games you do try to run on it are optimized enough for the chipset (and looking at how a lot of modern AAA PC games and ports are done.. I wouldn't be too optimistic). Switch 2, even if underpowered, will at least have consistent hardware to develop for.

I responded with a reasonable prediction based on sales of the Switch 1 vs Windows Handhelds.
You responded with a smartphone comparison, which is irrelevant.

I know that you can't make calls with this, so most people here may have no idea, but whether this will be "underpowered" (Nintendo hasn't sold a powerful console in over 20 years), LED (gamers won't care) or have steamOS or Windows in, it will not matter. This console will sell very very well.

Solid W from Nintendo if it is indeed OLED. If it's LCD, and they make people wait for the refresh model that has OLED, then major L.

While the chipset is once again really underpowered, it's the screen and controls that matter most.
Unless they give us at least 1080p oled (there are rumors it will be lcd again) and hall effects sticks, this will be a bad buy. The joycons were horrible throughout the Switch's lifetime, so they really need to step up their game. Stick drift is not acceptable.

Oled and 8.4 is probably false. 8.0 lcd more likely...
