    Disagree, Nintendo used to compete but stopped probably around the time of the gamecube. The wii was huge, such a fantastic product and then again with the switch. The forged their own lane both times so people didnt have to compete but this and wii u are lazy.

    Playstation had massive swings, unlocked bootloaders, blu ray, 4k, entertainment systems.

    Xbox tried too with the kinect and other big swings.

    The ps5 is meh, I dont know the new xbox to be fair but the switch is such a meh product too. I have little doubt that thy could run anything they make for it on the original too.

    Im not even sure the switch 2 has any big feature over the other one. A mouse wheel and some exclusives.

      The Wii u was honestly great if you skipped the Wii since it was backwards compatible, but also had its own set of games (decent enough to re-release on the switch). The Wii being to popular and the Wii u being just slightly different seems to have killed it.

      I would have guessed they made the same mistake, although at least this time its clear its not an add-on but a new console.
