I genuinely believe a primary driving factor for the switch 2 was to hinder emulation of new releases. I don’t remember any of this but I think my friend said TOTK was available on bad websites a week before the official release. But I wouldn’t know.
The new connection for the controllers also makes me think they didn’t want to take a chance with a fumble like on the switch where you can ground a pin to hack your switch…
It’s Switch 2 games we’re talking about here…
Switch 2: emulation boogaloo

Two weeks if I’m not mistaken

Damn. Gotta start emulating that too.
We’ll see how long it takes to get a working emulator going, but with power equivalent to a PS4 Pro it might not happen for a while…
So yeah after a year of a release.
How’s PS4 emulation going these days? Because the hardware will be equivalent to a PS4 Pro so it will require quite the hardware to emulate.
It’s going fine, the problem will be compatibility and not performance I think.
So in 10 years I’ll be able to boot one game and it will run well enough.
No way the Steam Deck will be able to run emulated Switch 2 games. Maybe the Steam Deck 2.
