I think the Switch 2 is great for certain types of gamers. Some reasons I really enjoy the Switch 2:

• I enjoy Nintendo’s first party games
• I often play in short bursts and the Switch is easy to pick up and play. Also many games on Switch cater to that kind of gaming
• It’s less expensive than a gaming PC or more powerful consoles and if you don’t care about playing every major AAA release there are more than enough games to play that run great on the hardware
• The big AAA games that do release on Switch 2 still run surprisingly well. Usually with worse graphics than on other platforms and at lower framerates (eg. 30fps instead of 60fps), but if you’re not the kind of gamer that is really invested in such things they generally run plenty good enough to be enjoyable
• Lots of family friendly games and lots of couch co-op games that anyone can pick up and play
• Games are expensive and I don’t want to excuse that, but Nintendo’s first party releases tend to be of a high quality, release in a good state and don’t lock content behind microtransactions or battle passes (releasing 20€ DLC a few months after a 70€ game is pretty whack though). Personally I don’t mind paying a premium for that and would rather pay 80€ for a game that is complete, than 60€ for a game where I’m missing out on content because I didn’t buy the 80€ premium version and then still have progression balanced around pushing people towards spending even more via microtransactions

But that’s enough glazing Nintendo for one post. If you value similar things then maybe Switch 2 is a good choice. If you care about having the best graphics and the best performance possible and don’t care about the exclusives or have a massive library on another platform, then maybe not so much.
