Not a valid reason. Steam Deck 2 isn't coming, and if all you have right now is a Deck you're due for an upgrade. Go out and buy a Switch 2.

Not a valid reason. A. Because Switch 2 editions of Switch 1 games are better than emulating, and B. Because there are other exclusives coming out. Go out and buy a Switch 2.

I have one, but it's not really worth it at the moment. Two single worthwile exclusives with intenod announcing jack shit for a new 3D Mario, no new Zelda announced either, Metroid is a switch game, Pokemon runs on the switch etc
Also most Switch games ARE NOT built to allow 1080 undocked, so you have the problem of the Switch having to scale 540 or lower to 720, but WORSE
Have a switch? Unless you play Zelda, that exclusive you want to replay ost likely wont look better and may run a bit better because lots of games are locked to 30
I think that the only game that actually competently reaches the 120fps the 2 can output undocked is Silksong, it's this bad. Wait two years or so till there's an actual library and actual games patched to use the hardware, even Minecraft is still just the Switch port

Everybody I know has a Switch 1
Only one person I know has a Switch 2, and he's a bit of your sterotypical brand loyal fan, nothing against him.

The average person who makes up the majority of the Switch 1 userbase is not buying, or interested in buying a Switch 2. I've been telling people this, and they autistically ask me for 80 peer reviewed studies to prove how I can infer that it's not selling well after all the initial consoomer launch. I live in one of the most populated upper-middle class areas of the country, and every store near me sold out for like a week, and then has had fully stocked shelves ever since.

One of my buddies bought a Steam Deck like a month before the Switch 2 launched, and yes he has a Switch 1.

I don't know why it's so hard for the cattle/masses to just understand basic reality without some "official" having to confirm it for them. Nintendo has an interest in giving the impression that it is mega popular for as long as possible, because that generates more hype and some extra sales.

In a year this will be common knowledge and everybody will act like they said it all along, like they always do. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some sort of discount program for games or consoles to move them, kind of like the 3DS, but not that desperate.

I used to think the 'Nintendo' as a "kids console" was an unfair label from the NES-Gamecube era. Wii was a family machine. Wii U a weird little machine I can't square. Switch and Switch 2 are both console that scream arrested development to me.

>>721203716
Switch and Switch 2 are best understood as Nintendo fully exiting the console race and only doing handhelds. They're handhelds, and are follow-ups to the 3DS more than the Gamecube.

Nintendo fanboys are all bug people which are part of a hive mind that only exists to consoom and please their queen. They will defend any shitty anti-consumer practices such as abusing patents to choke out competition, raising the prices of old games and consoles, restricting physical ownership and shaving off content that should be part of the base game and locking it behind paid DLC. Any opinion they hold is worthless, and it is a moral obligation to ridicule them in public.

Z-A is the only thing Switch 2 has going on right now (also on Switch 1 and also on PC because the former). I'm not touching MKW and after the last direct, neither Bananza since it seems like they're going to dripfeed that game for an year with DLC. They're doing a pretty fucking bad job marketing Prime 4 and that's a game that'll probably be better played emulated anyway.

>product costs money
The product in question was the switch 2, not the online capability. Not buying a product because what should be included as a feature of the product being a paid add-on IS a valid argument.

Everything is so overpriced that I'd rather save the money and just ignore nintendo altogether right now.

I have plenty of games to play, I don't need more.

Are consolefags really THAT desperate, or do even they step away from that sort of cultist behavior?
