That’s kinda the thing, a lot of people were basically just wanting just another switch because they liked the switch’s formfactor. It may not be innovative, but why innovate just for innovation’s sake, y’know? It’s a better switch, both in some improvements to the formfactor, and in the same way the Ps5 is just a better Playstation than the ps4.

I don’t care that people bought a Switch 2 if it makes them happy. For me, this was the first Nintendo console in a long time I had no interest in. There was no innovation here. It’s just a minor upgrade in specs over the Switch with maybe better online?
Nothing about the Switch 2 is going to supplant my Steam Deck, so why waste the money?

Switch 2 to me is something I’m okay with from the perspective of, I think these consoles need to update more often. Nintendo didn’t have anything revolutionary to add this time around, but wanted to update the Switch because it had been 8 years. It’s nearly 100% backwards compatible. This is a better choice than the WiiU which basically was Wii without the fun.
I’m curious what Sony and Microsoft do because there isn’t any new improved tech for those devices that would really drive a better experience for people. Microsoft seems to be toying with the Xbox isn’t a single device it’s an experience concept. Sony made the Pro and no one cared.

A $700 console upgrade is niche, and they know that.
