Nintendo had 6 years, why now? Can't have free software upstaging new hardware.

Maybe the Nintendo Switch successor is going to have backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch games, so during the early times after launch they're planning to lean heavily into the backwards compatibility aspect, meaning they need to make it less convenient to pirate their games. It would make sense to attack Nintendo Switch emulation if that was the case.

Switch 2 will have the hardware Switch 1 should have had and allow a lot better playability at higher TV resolutions I bet.
