As disappointed as I am with the name Switch 2 being so plain and ordinary versus their previous sequel consoles (Super NES, Gameboy Advance, Wii U); with the console being so similar to the Switch (1), I think they'd have another Wii U situation on their hands if they did have a more clever name.
If someone told me this was a mid-cycle refresh, I'd probably believe them; but maybe the official launch reveals will change my mind...
It makes sense that they're playing it safe this time around. They've already had successors to well selling consoles due to gimmicks (*ahem Wii U). The Switch is already a well selling console so it seems like they're just making the same thing but with better performance and some usability improvements.
