Looks like a full sized tablet with side mounted controls

Seems only like a natural step up from the previous Switch.

Although I had kinda hoped Nintendo would step up their game and gone for a bigger leap with stronger hardware, or a new device alongside the Switch, to make it a potential competitor to PlayStation. The console market needs more competition, but I think both Nintendo and Sony are very comfortable right now, without being into much of each others way and being able to keep raising prices.

The Nintendo 64 was really the last time Nintendo tried competing on hardware specs for the console market.

After that, you had a major electronics company subsidizing hardware to gain market share and a major software company subsidizing development and software graphics tools to be used also on their computer systems as the two different competitors.

The GC was significantly more powerful than the PS2.

That's a shame if it's true. I found the original uncomfortable and painful to hold, I was hoping for something more like the Steam Deck.

You can buy third party joycons that make it a lot more comfortable. The originals are tiny and make my hands hurt.

That's true. Altho I ended up getting a switch lite because even tho it's smaller, it's lighter and the soft buttons are much more comfortable.
