I'll take the upside that console generations have had longer lifespans for 2 decades now. Even phones are getting half-sane support periods, still not at the 12 year span to stem manufactured consumerism. I haven't looked at the leaked specs yet, but I hope Super Switch Mii (best names I saw in other comment threads) is not grossly underpowered at release this time around. Then, another 8+ years where innovation happens on the software side.
If hardware as a whole can get past the upscaling/frame-generation fad, some developers might rediscover lost low level engineering arts of pre-Zoomer games. Or, at least clean up some of the engineering bloat of modern engines and content slop of failed triple-As. When we're ready, an actual post Moore's Law computing breakthrough will make it's way to the consumer side.
I'm also boycotting Nintendo because of their worse-than-Disney policy on copyright. Steam Deck and emulation will be enough for me after I'm done with my Switch.
