Controversial Will you be buying a Switch 2?

[Bisoromi Bear]

I have games current and upcoming that I want to play, so I'm not really thinking about whether they 'exploit' me or not. It's not like they're rewarding long time fans either for dedication, it's all about whether you're fast enough to click links or have a bot to order products on your behalf

Holy moly, sounds like serious corporate induced addiction

I have bought it.

Likely to get the Switch 2 when an OLED model comes out

I have one! Mario Kart World is such a fun game!

PS5 for reference came out in 2020 and where I live, it took until October 2024 (almost 5 years)

RemakeStation 5 needed 5 years to release 1!!! exclusive game lol

I think Nintendo should definitely use the recent popularity of the Switch 2 to create an "X" version which is more powerful than the recent Switch 2, max clock speed of the Tegra T239, Ampere and full use of all 8 cores. Or even a more powerful CPU and GPU. Why is it that underclocked in the first place?

The hybrid handheld is strong, true, but the support of 3rd party games might struggle with upcoming AAA titles again. Cyberpunk 2077 is 5 years old and despite being a CPU demanding game, oncoming AAA titles will be even more demanding to run. I don't expect Switch 2 to be able to run something like GTA 6 but would it be able to run Witcher 4 like the PC handhelds? Most of them are already stronger and DLSS isn't magic.

I mean, it isn't unusual for Nintendo to develop a more powerful version of the current handheld. Ie. 3DS and New 3DS. Idk if Nintendo plans to do a Switch 2 OLED due to the screen supporting VRR. The dock doesn't support VRR so I think the next version might change that as well.

I wish there was a sequel to infamous second son

The astounding number of 3.5 million copies sold in a span of 3 to 4 days is indicative of Nintendo's remarkable capabilities. They have managed to capture their audience within the fingers of their greedy hands and has enlightened other companies that yep go ahead raise the prices for games & other game systems. These dumb souls will buy it regardless.

Nintendo Switch 2 is sold over 5 million units world-wide in a month:

To answer the thread title; no.

Nintendo is doing what Microsoft did with the Xbox One at launch but even worse and getting away with it at that.

Just trying to gauge consumer sentiment in this forum, especially those who currently own a Switch. I'll be mass tagging everyone so sorry for the inconvenience if you're not interested.

I have switch but no Switch 2

 

[sanjikun]

It's just a slightly better Switch. The 4k feature is nice.

If you got the money and you're a Nintendo fan, do it. Otherwise, it's not the end of the world.

Its not just a slightly better switch its also a switch that allows you to play new upcoming games.

Console is released for 4 months only also cyberpu2077 and upcoming Elden ring don't have switch 1 version and those are huge games.For me elden ring alone is dealbreaker.
