Will The Nintendo Switch 2 Be A Success?

Yeah, those three million Steam Deck's sold really got Nintendo shaking in their boots.

I love my steam deck, but in every way possible: nah. Switch 2 will quintuple Deck lifetime sales in its first year.
Two ways to look at it. Of course, The Steam Deck is not a threat now.
But:
1: If these handhelds are becoming a way to play, Xbox Games, PlayStation Games an PC games on one device. One might just eat that loss and stay on a PC handheld and forget Nintendo.
2. If Nintendo really maintains first strong Party Support, there will always be a place for Nintendo Hardware.

It will be interesting to see how all this shakes out in the next decade.

Is Nintendo going to do a trifecta of sameness or will they have to find a new angle for the next console?

Switch 1 still selling more than the Steamdeck and Asus Rog Ally (Including the Xbox version) combined… The Switch 2 is in another dimension in comparison.
