Wait, has everything they've made prior been a gimmick? And I would bet my entire lifetime of wages that it's not going to be call Switch 2, even though everyone keeps saying that
People will complain about literally anything. Case and point, Kotaku.
I would argue that a souped-up Switch is what is needed right now. Not everything that Nintendo makes needs to be a gimmick.

The past couple of generations have been. The Wii had waggle controls, the Wii U had two screens, the Switch was a handheld/console hybrid. This next console being an improvement on the Switch makes it less of a gimmick and more of an idea that they stuck with because it was good. I'm curious about the name, my guess is it will be "Switch 2" just because people allegedly had a hard time understanding Wii U.
