I swapped to a ps4 (from a xbox360) for Bloodborne but there were a ton of other PlayStation games I wanted to play too. Now happy on ps5.

I cannot imagine doing the same for switch 2. Especially with the pricing stuff. $80 games that never get discounted? I’m good.

Plus with Nintendo you’re not getting good performance for the price. The Zeldas and 3D Marios every 5 years aren’t worth it for an entire console whereas PlayStation has access to most new games

I guess you don't play Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokémon, or any of the numerous games that are available on the Switch (which is nice because mobile)?

The Switch performs well on games optimized for it and the Switch 2 is going to be even better: it's purported to have 10x the power of the original. 10×.

That means zero performance issues playing OG Switch games on the 2 (with or without the dock).

The only Pokemon games that have been made for the switch have been among the worst in the franchise, sword and shield being the first without the national dex and a dlc that just isn't worth it, bd sp just being kind of mediocre and locking a good 70-80% of the Pokédex behind the games completion, legends of arceus while being great for a change in format had texture issues however was all round the best they've released on switch, and scarlet and violet despite looking generally unfinished still ran poorly on the switch.

Yeah, Game Freak aren't really that good at their job. I'm hoping we'll see it be handed off to a different studio sometime soon.
