Yeah, how is the Switch 2 like the best selling console with 2 games? (Plus access to the Switch 1 library but even then they want to charge $10 to “upgrade” games you already own???)
Enthusiasts, and people who already have Switch and wanted a “Switch Pro” (like me). Nintendo was smart to have a large supply, so it didn’t have issues like PS5 / Xbox Series had on launch, or even Switch 1.
Also, the $10 upgrade is for games that have a patch for frame rate or resolution upgrade, even without the upgrade, the Switch 1 version works better on Switch 2 in many cases.
I never bought a Switch 1. So buying a Switch 2 is just logical to me, and I immediately get to choose from (nearly) the entire Switch library.
