You can tell Nintendo does not give a shit if you make money off old consoles because of the absolute proliferation of preloaded devices on ebay and amazon. We all know capital protects capital and when "fully loaded" Kodi boxes were a thing in the 2010s. They got shut down with a swiftness. Personally I think Nintendo is scared of Steam Deck and its other cheaper versions because of how close the experience is and to do anything close to it is suicide right now.

They're probably more afraid of Android devices to be honest. Handheld PCs are niche products while people are massively more likely to have expensive phones that can emulate Switch games
