An IGN poll embedded in their article about analysts and developers discussing the next generation Switch got nearly 10,000 votes, and the one thing that people want in the Switch 2 more than any other in the Switch 2 is backward compatibility, well ahead of even the hybrid design.
It makes sense! The Switch has developed an impressive library of ~10,000 games spanning all generations, across multiple publishers and IP, several of which had never been on a Nintendo system before. The Switch also has an incredibly high digital attach ratio, plus the console is coming in an era where every other electronic device - not just the other two consoles, but also smartphones, tablets, computers, ereaders, music players, watches, TV boxes - all support backward compatibility and continuity with purchases of new hardware. The expectation here is - almost should be - the default.
So my question: do you agree with the emphasis being placed on BC here? Would it make or break the bank for you?
