I hoep it's backward compatible like 3DS to DS, meaning you can play Switch games on the new console.

It's been six years, g0rl. The hardware in it is ancient compared to the competition.

if the switch with its 1080p is considered ancient, then what is Poker Face music video with its original 480p and no real HD (the present HD is just AI upscaled and fake HD) - stone age?

Gurl, yes it is.
YT got 8K resolution now. And many high ends phones also make their devices can record in that resolution. minimum standards today is 720p for people with slow internet.

I think that Nintendo is far ahead on development of their next console. But the switch is selling so well they’re likely gonna wait a year or two for it to become the best selling console of all time.

you spill the tea, I don't disagree.

It's too blurry on big screens to be considered good. I prophesy that in future there will be quiz shows and one kid, born today, will attend it and be asked "When was Poker Face by then influential Lady Gaga released? A) 1987 B) 2008 C) 2023 D) 1995" And then it will enter A

The list of leak starting from last year:

Factories in China have already said they are going to mass product a new hardware for Nintendo next year during investors' meeting

Nvidia got hacked and the new processor for the NX2 (NX was the first switch) got leaked

Sharp (and Samsung I believe) talked about the sale of a large number of LCD screens for a new console from a japanese company

There was a leak this spring about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet planning with the release of a next gen update coming along "DLC 2" 

Same for TotK

Nintendo started hiring developers specialized in next gen graphic engine and retrocompatibility 

Ubisoft and Activision and Microsoft talking about the Switch 2 during the trials 

It's gonna be for next year

I’d rather just have more games 😆

Nintendo left the factories in China and moved to Taiwan and Vietnam in early 2020

this - i can’t imagine they would ever ditch the handheld or console approach that the switch perfected - and i can’t imagine an updated version that would be different enough to call an entirely new console 

I've heard either a Switch 2 or Switch Pro model as the successor. They struck gold with this model and the core IP's have had massive success with their entries (Super Mario Odyssey, Metroid Dread, Legend of Zelda--all of em really). I doubt it'll be something brand new such as evolving from say the Gamecube to the Wii, so I agree it'll be like a Switch 2/Pro approach if anything.

OMG

I can’t wait.

Not anymore, from mid 2019 many companies left China, Nintendo did it gradually until they left completely

BEGGING for backwards compatibility, so I can finish Rune Factory 5 and Shin Megami Tensei V with stable framerates  I had to put both of those games down and they're the reasons I even got a Switch

Let alone now that the Switch is about to pass PS2 as the best selling console of all time

As it should.
