This is exactly the problem, weird policy quirks and better alternatives didn’t help the situation but quite frankly there’s no new content for the Switch 2, and the performance bump over the OG Switch is almost irrelevant because raw performance isn’t the reason people buy Nintendo systems & games.
Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

I have one, I like it as a slightly better switch, but, yeah. There’s not a lot of reasons to get one for now.
Mario Kart World and Age of Imprisonment are disappointing, most of the other first party games are just upgrades of Switch games, including Prime 4 that’s… Meh.
Bananza was a lot of fun, but it’s not selling a whole console.

I can’t justify spending $600 to get a slightly better Switch.

its all those excess fees coming along with buying the switch, and the game, +online features.

Neither do I, but it was about 450 where I live.
I have a big switch library, and my OG switch is not in the best of shapes. Also, I honestly expected better from Mario Kart.
So yeah, as I said, I’m not exactly advising anyone to get one right now. I’m just saying, it’s more comfortable than the switch, it has one good exclusive game, and it runs some switch 1 games significantly better.

It IS $450 here for the console only. I was factoring in taxes, Nintendo Online, and a game or 2.
