Wasn't expecting it to actually be called "Switch 2", but I'm glad they stuck to a name that makes sense.

Agree. PlayStation 1...5 has worked well for Sony. XBOX is a mess (I am an XBOX guy myself).

They could have gone by release year (Xbox 01, Xbox 05, Xbox 10, etc.)

I actually thought that would be cool for Switch 2 - call it the Switch 25. They could release the Switch 30 in 5 years and so on without too much confusion, assuming compatibility all the way through (by 2035 we'll probably all be on thin clients anyway).
