I'm a bit surprised about the success of the Switch 2 (they sold 25 million or so of it), I can't get myself to buy one because I really don't know what the point is over my OG Switch that works fine. It's not that Mario needs 4K super-high res textures.

@thomasfuchs I feel like it's inevitable that I'll end up with a Switch 2 eventually. I love my original Switch so much. But I agree right now it doesn't feel like it needs replacement. Give it a couple years for the catalogue to build up.
@thomasfuchs spouse and I both have a Switch and Switch 2. They're our Expensive Pokémon and Zelda machines.
The Switch 2 is wonderful. It plays the old games better, the new games good, and improves on every single aspect of the Switch. It has a trustworthy kickstand, better controllers, and runs all the Switch games better.
I've been considering using the Switch 2 as a way to experience some big titles I passed on, rather than upgrading my PC.
@thomasfuchs I got one. It runs one game I play so much better which was welcome. The bigger screen and better kickstand are also good.
My main by-product is that I then gave my old Switch to my (older) sister who'd never played with a console before. It was like a revelation. It has given her bonus interactions with her grandkids (she gives tips on ACNH). Now our auntie has a Switch and she plays with her grandkids. We've sort of turned into a Nintendo ad of generations playing together!
Not that it actually has a new Mario game
@thomasfuchs I’m still on Switch 0.
