Not the concept, but the games?

Those games are off screen. It's not really showing much to begin with.

The reveal video is so awesome that I'm going to by 8 billion units.

But then wait for a sale on games?

I do notice that both have the grey/black joycons, so I'm hoping for another color variation in the full reveal.

The fact that there's a color inside the console itself is strange for me, I get that it'll help identify the right joycon to insert, but whe there are other colors... then what?

Agreed with people saying they just had to slap something together cause of the leaks, that makes the most sense to me. Otherwise, showing off a new game system with no games makes no sense.

Opening the trailer with the OG Switch. They should be completely separating this product, allow it to stand on its own feet. This isn't a Wii U scenario, the name makes it clear this is a separate console.

This x100.

This trailer more or less communicated: "This Switch is basically a Pro version of the original, rather than a new generation of gaming".

For the uninitiated, it comes across as a new edition like the OLED version, rather than something brand new worth getting.

What would you say was the difference between this and the PS5 reveal? Or do you think that was also weak?

Just rewatched the PS5 reveal to remember.

Biggest difference is they didn't compare or focus on the PS4 at all. Also the music bangs.

Yes I think that's fair, it's definitely an iterative next gen successor.

I think they might have been traumatised by the Wii U and reaaaaaaally wanted to show that this is a brand new Switch.

So... It is the New Switch XL.

Nah, it literally says in the headline of the video, in every communication and big on their website that this is 2. The succesor. I would have said the next generation Switch or something, but you get it's something different and I think that's why they showed how different it is.

Every media will also claim this. I think it's fine. I would agree that showing MKX and not something completely fresh would have been better.

Their website is also very nice, and showcases the 2 big. This isn't the same situation as WiiU where the concept itself was the kitchen sink and complicated.
