Nintendo don't usually have the most powerful hardware but it's hardly a conservative approach to technology. They've pretty much always had an innovative piece of hardware on the market even if it doesn't always work out.
As much as I'd love the next gen of Nintendo hardware if it was just a more powerful switch it could very easily be something more inventive.

Conservative in processing power, that was the context. Joy-Con are certainly innovative.

That's kind of my point though, it likely won't just be a more powerful version of their current hardware. They will probably want to do more to differentiate it from the Switch.
If they want to replicate the success they've had with the it they'll have to. A lot of Switch owners will take a bit of convincing to upgrade if it doesn't have something else to offer.

They did it with the Famicom, 3DS, Game Boy Advance. It's normal practice with other companies.

It is normal for other companies, but if we're speculating on their next generation of hardware I would say it won't just be a souped up version of their existing hardware.
Mostly because I don't think that will be enough for them to replicate the success they've had with the Switch.
In the past when they haven't innovated, they haven't done as well.
