    I really wonder if a Switch 2 will do as well as the first Switch.

    More and more handheld gaming PCs are released by the time the Switch 2 comes around. Yes, a Switch 2 does have the advantage of access to Nintendo games (if we ignore Emulators) and I would imagine lower price, but I haven’t touched my Switch since I got the Steamdeck. I even sold an extra Switch Lite I had.

    I rarely, basically never used the Switch plugged into a TV. I only played it in handheld mode with a skin that made it more comfortable to hold than a flat brick. Nintendo games rarely drop in price and sales don’t reduce prices by much VS PC games that often go on sale and older games drop to very low prices on sale.

    I’m certain there’s a market for a Switch 2, I’m just wondering if it will do as well as the first Switch in the current market with more options.

      I’d buy a Switch 2 if I played first party Switch games at 2K/60fps. Specifically Pokemon, Zelda, and Xenoblade.

        Unless GF massively update their engine then I feel like Pokémon in 2K would make your eyes bleed

        It’s painful enough looking at it on the current gen switch
