Interesting that it's just the graphics being shown off. Its not clear if it's a "switch 2" or if it'll have other strange hardware/form factor quirks, all we have so far is "the graphics hardware will be better".
One hopes it'll be good.

#3There really isn't any information about the console in this article, just that it was demoed. Which is to be expected if they're releasing next year. And if they're not releasing next year, I'm not sure what they expect to sell.

#4I imagine it would be a better tablet, hopefully it would also have complete backward compatibility.
Edit: I see there are a lot of replies already on my comment but I need to add more thoughts to it, I have the feeling that if Nintendo is going to release a better tablet with complete backward compatibility with the Switch, most developers will continue to develop for the original console instead of developing games for the new hardware as the Switch has sold >120mln of consoles, this is good for the consumer but it's probably not what Nintendo would want if their new generation console is seen as a "New 3ds" (there are only a dozen of games that run exclusively on this console, all the others run on the original hardware).

>complete backward compatibility
That would mean Nvidia SoC. The first gen Switch choose Nvidia because they were cheap, and Nvidia were despite to get their SoC into some use.
With today's Nvidia I am just worried Nintendo isn't getting any decent deals.

Actually, just straight-up re-releasing remasters of the games might be a way to make backward compatibility work as a business model. I'm really cynical that, while the consumers in threads like this widely consider the backward compatibility to be an obvious choice, it just doesn't make business sense in a world where certain companies in particular make such a killing by perpetually re-selling the same games back to the same people over and over again. It's too lucrative and too effective. But if you can make the system backward compatible and still sell them those games a second time anyway, it's a win/win.

I sold my old 2080 at the right time and made $100 but I was out a graphics card for over a year. Sold my steam deck as well and only lost about $75. Due to kids I didnt have time to play it along with the switch and some desktop PC games.
Check eBay prices and local Craigslist/FB market place.
