Given the Switch's success I doubt third parties will be late to the party this go-around. Good to hear from Henderson though

Here's hoping this is the case. Nintendo did great job breaking down the "nintendo consoles are for nintendo games" mindset. Still plenty of room for improvement.

I really hope so, I intend to get it around launch after skipping the switch 1 and having it be a competent hardware this time around would do great to convince me.

I believe it, the Switch was a huge success and third parties did well on it. Why wouldn't they support a follow up that can play more of their games?

Been telling people this isn't a 1:1 situation of PS4/XB1 and Switch.

Pretty crazy that Nintendo went from being radioactive to third parties by the end of the Wii U era to arguably their most third party friendly console of all time. Putting your game on the successor if it can run feels like a no brainer and I didn't think we'd ever see that again for Nintendo.

Finally a strong Nintendo console, wont be needing to buy a PS5 anymore, ill just stick to my PC + Switch combo.
This is currently my mindset after investing into a PC earlier this year. Already sold my Series X and I'm really thinking bout selling my PS5 after I get my SpiderMan 2 fix.

Would be nice just having a PC and Switch 2. Hope these rumors pan out

Nice. It will be awesome to see "coming to everything" soon.

It will be kind of like the 6th generation again, but much better.

Sure to help with the adoption of DLSS in more PC games too.

New era of Nintendo on the horizon. I am pumped for it.

The biggest one would be GTA6. Beyond it even coming out, with RDR1, classic GTA and RDR2 rumored for switch, it would be wild if switch 2 gets the next mainline GTA on day 1

as along as it is powerful enough to be compared to a PS4, every major third party hame is gonna launch on Switch 2, skipping it is pure madness.
We are gonna witness a 10 years long cross-gen

It's gonna feel weird being hyped up for Switch 2 from a tech perspective rather than just because its the new Nintendo console to have (not that the Switch wasn't impressive when it first came out, but yea)

Well I fucking hope so, Switch was dominating the market for years and the 3rd party situation didn't improve that much.
We even got GameFreak doubting about the Switch ! That tells a lot.

I'm definitely not going to play most games on Switch 2 because I have zero interest in portability, but it'll definitely help them sell better overall.

I don't know if it will be happy or excited to not see the PS5, Xbox Series X and soon the PS5 Pro unexploited power. We just leave the previous gen...

As long as the CPU is better than a PS4 (which there is no reason to think it would not be), games that target it will not hold back the higher end systems. Graphics are scalable and was never the issue.

How do you know it'll be downgraded from the XSS?
Do you think it is realistic to assume that the hardware will be on par with the XSS?
