Though it would be amazing to have a Nintendo console with PS5-caliber performance, the hardware will probably fall somewhere in the middle of the two. Furthermore, no exact resolution was mentioned in the leak, so we’re not sure how the Switch 2 will handle different graphical settings.

There’s a lot of mystery surrounding the Switch 2, with rumors of a lot of additional features—like a camera and backward compatibility—adding to it. The inclusion of a camera isn’t totally surprising considering Nintendo’s past experiences with the DSi and 3DS, which also featured cameras. For devoted Nintendo fans who have frequently had to juggle numerous consoles to enjoy their full library of games, backward compatibility would be a blessing.

Microsoft, which has had trouble attracting players with exclusive content, may be especially exposed.
If Nintendo manages its cards well and if reports prove to be accurate, the gaming industry may undergo a dramatic change. Nintendo is the only firm that can defeat it. And it looks like the massive Japanese game company is holding a royal flush right now.
