This is bad. Because,

a. Switch 2 can get bricked when Nintendo wants you to upgrade to the "Switch Tree."

b. If you discover a purely unused switch 2 decades later it will be useless. It's bricked unless you get that Switch 2 update.

c. It all ties to that Nintendo bricking terms of service terms.

Isn't it rumored that Nintendo has been manufacturing Switch 2 hardware for years? Those early manufactured consoles are not going to have a fully functional OS. Makes sense that they have a basic firmware that can connect to the update servers and fetch the released OS once it is available.

No, that doesn't make sense. I've never heard of another console needing a day-one update to be usable.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

And why would an old release of a new product be sitting there in outdated packaging like that.

It makes sense but it's intentional on Nintendo's part to make the consoles unusable.. The less usable they can make their older consoles usable to the normal consumer that is not modifying their consoles is the point. It started with games servers going offline after their expiration dates, and now they are starting to do similar with the console itself.
