Comment on Is the Switch 2 a waste of money?

The reality especially on here is you will run into three camps.
The people who already own a switch 2 (and mostly love it)
the people who don’t own one and won’t and think it’s absolute garbage
And those switch one owners who didn’t buy one but I generally see they didn’t like the switch 1 they bought.
If you loved what the switch did then an upgrade to a Switch 2 to me makes a lot of sense. Games like StarFox at least visually show what a huge leap the newer SOC can offer. And more games will be released over the next 7 or so years. Not to mention your old library of switch games generally runs a lot better.
If you’ve never owned a switch then it’s going to me to depend on what your looking for. If you want a PC or the freedom of a Pc then just get the PC. But be aware of the learning curve and upfront expenses. And yes that includes Steam Decks.
If you want a native Nintendo experience running any recent Nintendo software and want an easy to use hardware that’s generally less expensive then it’s comparables then I still think the Switch 2 is a good option.
Personally I love my Switch 2, coming from a Switch 1 it was a nice upgrade. I also game on PC but enjoy having a simple setup and native Nintendo experience. I’ve never been much of an accessories buyer. I primarily play with my Switch 1 pro controller.

I have a Switch 1 and really enjoyed it, but I don’t feel the need to upgrade. Better hardware would be nice, but I’m better off gaming on PC anyway.
