There are a lot of reasons that this makes sense for them. But also, given the other things they've been promising, I think this is going to be an expensive piece of hardware that basically just hides Windows under the hood.

Rumor has it that's exactly why this launch got delayed. It's been in production for months now.

shrug I guess we'll see but I don't think it's at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don't see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.

I think it'll be softer for a number of reasons, but "softer than one of the most successful consoles of all time" is still a high bar to clear.
