i think the problem is not much was shown. and what was shown was little touches to the original console, which makes it look like a switch pro and not a new console. and showing a game that looks like an original switch game, doubles down on that. i think they should phase out the original switch and put the same price tag on this one

Yes, Nintendo Power actually.

Nintendo's biggest mistake was allowing Nintendo Power to stop being a thing, it was the best promotional device Nintendo could ever have.
American school/public libraries carried Nintendo Power.
PlayStation would benefit from having a physical PlayStation magazine geared towards men that only talks about PS HW, PS games and girls.
Something like PlayStation's version of Nintendo Power plus the girls of Maxim/Playboy in hot outfits. Public/School library approval would be essential.
A physical magazine being something that young people could read when parents have taken away the phone/tablet/PS5/TV.
Subscriptions would come with codes for exclusive game demos and early access that can't be obtained elsewhere.
Studios that do PS exclusives could get featured in the magazine and it would be a great way for studios to buy ad space for their games.
People could subscribe to the magazine via the PSN and buying a new console would get you 2 free months of the magazine.
Magazine articles could have QR codes that would open the PS Android/iOS app and take users directly to the game so they'd never have to wade through the PSN.
Allowing users to pick games to play via their PS smartphone app and boot directly into those games in their PS5 would be a big plus.
Users going from reading PS magazine to playing the featured demo game without ever wading through the PSN on their console.
Scan QR code (enter code for feature phone) with PS app, "Load" game demo via PS app(downloading to console, even if powered OFF), notification on PS app that game is "loaded", push power button on console and boot PS5 directly into that game.
Moving back to the "direct game play" of PS2 by allowing users to handle game selection/loading via smartphone/laptop with the PS app would keep the console free from the negative sentiment that users feel when using PSN.

I think their issue is they did not show enough. The trailer was so vague. People have been waiting a long time and to only show that little bit and reveal almost nothing is disappointing. Also, the release date is concerning. This thing should of been out and now they are waiting til April to have a full reveal? It may not launch til Holiday 2025. There is little on the OG switch to get excited about until then. Too many unknowns.

For some time now, I have maintained that Nintendo’s practice of maintaining secrecy will eventually backfire. This week’s unveiling should have revealed significantly more information, and I believe that individuals who do not regularly monitor online forums may not even fully comprehend that “Switch 2” represents a comprehensive successor to the original console. Notably, there is a possibility that ordinary individuals may perceive “Switch 2” as merely a cosmetic redesign. It might even be that Nintendo was forced to quickly throw this week's trailer together as a quick response to all the leaks, and had planned all along to unveil at a later date.

Small dips on days news gets announced doesn't mean anything. These things are priced in before the general population knows about it.

This isn’t about unhappy investors. This is about people trying to dump stock for a profit after an announcement that should have made stock jump in price, which it did shortly after.

Nintendo stock is way overpriced year on year, needs a correction.
