Fair - I'd be surprised if they haven't already been working on a ps6 for years though.
In my mind Nintendo is going to be more or less immune to the death of the console market. They did have done a really, really good job at making fun games since the 80s, and have also traditionally had the cheapest hardware (not that that will matter if the competition goes away). I might impulsively buy whatever Nintendo's next console is just for Zelda or Metroid, even though Nintendo as a company pisses me off.
Ya I've considered that route.
I've messed around with switch emulation on more powerful hardware, but for the simplicity of getting things workings I think I prefer the official console. The performance I had I my PC was not outstanding either.
Yeah, I'll bet PS6 is business as usual but with an eye toward the future. Microsoft is already hinting that their next Xbox(es) are just going to be PCs, with talk of handhelds and additional storefronts.
Stay strong, brother. They only get to keep pissing you off because you keep handing them your money. There's no shortage of metroidvania games right now, and even Zelda has a decent number of competitors now.
