To be clear, I hope it doesn't happen....BUT from a business perspective, it really could be amazing.
Nintendo has always focused on the fun. Forget about the latest tech and the best specs. They don't care about that, they've always focused on innovation, trying oddball things and focusing on fun games. If MS bought them, they have the pockets and know-how to do as cutting edge hardware as you can imagine.
So applying Nintendo's strengths with actually cutting edge hardware,I could see some good things getting released. Imagine a VirtuaBoy using HoloLens technology. Or a Switch 3 console that was 2x more powerful than Series X.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Nintendo has oodles of cash sitting around from the Wii days to do whatever they want. And you already stated the reason there isn't a Switch more powerful than the Series X: not because Nintendo doesn't have access to it, but because Nintendo doesn't care about that. More power = more time spent optimizing graphics = less time to focus on making the game fun. That's Nintendo's business model, and it works.
Nintendo has the money to build any hardware they like. It's an artistic priority, not a financial constraint.
I sure hope it wasn't artistic priority that lead to them building a joystick that drifts very easily.
Actually that was a personal priority. My uncle works for Nintendo Power and he said they did it just to annoy you specifically, Stephen01King.
Unfortunately I never bought a Switch, so they failed at their mission. Sorry you all had to be the victim in my place.
My uncle says "Drat!"
