After 8 year, all we get an improved version? Do they not have anything else in the pipeline?

I'll probably get it, lol! Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for some wacky stuff!

Edit: Seems odd to get down voted.

I think that's the point. You'll probably get it. I probably will too. I would imagine this device will improve unit sales and also has improved margins on a per unit basis. Easy win without trying all that much. Take the W.

I understand the financial part of it. I'm not sure it's a W for gamers like us. Obviously, I don't know the spec and detail so I'm happy to be corrected. From the video, they could've released this 4 years ago and I would've still gotten it back then. Since I view switch as a console system rather mobile system, the gain we are getting just seem a bit disappointing after 8 years.
