The Nintendo Switch is still pretty new and it has up to date graphics because Nintendo has not had anymore graphic changes. They also have not made a new console yet so there is really no need to sell it, that is why they are so expensive.
Now, due in part to the extreme success of the Nintendo Switch in 2020, Nintendo will apparently release the Nintendo Switch Pro in early 2021 with new Mini LED display tech.
The difference between the two versions of the modular Switch is a processor upgrade that promises improved battery life (newer processors are often more power efficient than their predecessors). The new V2 battery claim from Nintendo is 4.5 to 9 hours, vs. Both V2 and V1 Switches in hand, I ran a battery test on each.
First of all, if you haven't bought a Switch yet, go for the larger console. The Switch Lite's bright colors and smaller price tag are definitely appealing, but you'll get more use out of the larger Switch. The improved battery life and hybrid abilities genuinely make the new Switch V2 worth buying.
Nintendo did not make a powerful console because they know that that is not the best way to compete in the market. Generally speaking most people will only own either a PC, Playstation or Xbox but by making the Switch unique and different Nintendo stand alone as a second system.
Sega failed because they tried too hard to compete with other companies than to grow their own. When the SNES came out, they made the Genesis. Then they upgraded it with the 32x, a risky decision. Sega failed because they tried too hard to compete with other companies than to grow their own.
UPDATE: The Dreamcast 2 isn't happening. SEGA isn't making a new console, and it will not be a PC-console hybrid of any sort. It wants to be back on top of the games industry, but to do that, it'll have to resurrect the console that nearly killed the company in the late '90s: the SEGA Dreamcast.
It was the first in the sixth generation of video game consoles, preceding Sony's PlayStation 2, Nintendo's GameCube, and Microsoft's Xbox. The Dreamcast was Sega's final home console, marking the end of the company's eighteen years in the console market.
Although Sega is not owned by Nintendo, they do have the rights to many of the Sega games. This is why there are some Sega games on the Nintendo Switch as well as other Nintendo devices. Sega and Nintendo have a great relationship, but Nintendo does not own Sega.
After a successful North American launch, Dreamcast sales steadily declined despite several price drops. These price drops, in an attempt to compete with Sony, caused the console to be sold at a significant loss. Sega could not afford these losses, as their poor sales in Japan added very little to their revenue stream.
Sega has sold off its arcade business due to coronavirus. In a press release, parent company Sega Sammy Holdings Inc said it has sold the vast majority (85.1 per cent) of Sega Entertainment, its Japanese amusement business, to amusement machine company Genda.

Regardless of how easy PC building is, it's still not as easy as setting up a console. Consoles exist because they are more accessible than PC. They enable more people to experience the works of talented developers, which in turn enables those developers to earn more money and make more games.
The original Nintendo Switch is the best overall between these two devices, as it can play all Nintendo Switch games by default and can be used with TVs. If you buy the new Switch V2, it will also have longer battery life than the Switch Lite. However, it's $100 pricier.
The PS4 has better game capture features and supports VR, while the Switch has better controller options. Both have fantastic game libraries full of console exclusives, ports, and indie games. The Xbox One only excels in media features, with its Ultra HD Blu-ray support.
For the most part, it doesn't need wifi, but it's a good idea to have wifi, because it's required for system and game updates. The problem is all cellular devices limit “wifi tethering” so even though you may have unlimited data with an iPhone or an Android Phone, you cannot transfer it to your Switch when on the road.
