GG I asked coPilot to give me a summary of known Switch 2 rumours and this is what it spat out.  It that about it?

  • Release Date: Expected to be revealed in January 2025, with a possible launch by June or July.

  • Design: The Switch 2 may resemble the original Switch but with a larger size, USB-C ports, and an improved dock. It might also feature a second USB-C port for charging while in handheld mode1.

  • Performance: Rumored to have an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB of RAM, and an 8-inch LCD display. It's expected to be significantly more powerful than the original Switch1.

  • Backward Compatibility: The Switch 2 will be backward compatible with the original Switch, allowing access to its vast library of games.

  • Joy-Cons: The new controllers are rumored to use Hall effect joysticks, which should eliminate the stick drift issue that plagues the current Joy-Cons.

  • Price: Expected to cost between $399 and $449.

Relatively accurate aside from the RAM which is 12gb.

Missing a lot of details, like the gpu, HDD speed, memory cards etc.

Switch 2 Hardware Is Allegedly So Capable That a Lot of Players Will Be Surprised

Nintendo Switch 2 hardware is rumored to be more powerful than expected, leaving players pleasantly surprised.
Fans await big the reveal as Nintendo confirms Switch 2 in development and is expected to be announced by March 2025.
Switch 2 may see more AAA titles due to hardware capabilities, pleasing both Nintendo and third-party developers.

On the InstallBase forums, user Matt, who has been described as a "trusted developer" by many in the community, has made a remarkable claim about the Nintendo Switch 2. Replying to a user who stated that the Switch 2 might not be much more powerful than the PlayStation 4, Matt states that the "hardware is very capable." He further adds that a lot of people will be "pleasantly surprised," which possibly hints towards the fact that the Nintendo Switch 2 might have even better hardware capabilities than what fans have been expecting.

Matt further adds that both Nintendo and third-party developers see the Switch 2 as a "big potential growth driver." This suggests that the Switch 2 could get a lot more AAA titles than the norm for the Switch. However, he further notes that it will not be getting every AAA title all the time. The hardware isn't the only reason, as he also outlines that more third-party developers will be interested in developing games for the Nintendo Switch 2 because of current market conditions
