Same but also more to do with the fact that I bought the most expensive steam deck last year when I had some extra money and was able to treat myself. And now I don’t. If I had disposable income and money was no object then I’d buy it. But unfortunately not.I don’t think I’ll be rushing out to get one, I’m happy with my Steamdeck.
Currys are doing in store preorders only so you might have a chance at one since I would think they would limit the number of how many someone can buyI got this email today:

I can't get one for love nor money.The above email from Amazon goes on to say that invitations are no longer needed to buy a Switch 2, you've just got to visit the site to check - ie like any other item. So it'll be a case if you're lucky and just happen to be looking when they come back into stock for 5 minutes.
I've got one on back order with ShopTo and they're not accepting any further orders for the time being, which hopefully means I'll be able to get one of the second shipment of consoles from there.
I've always managed to get Nintendo consoles on release day by pre-ordering before, so it's clearly very popular.
Cool - I might try that but it'll be a little while till I can get to a Currys!Currys are doing in store preorders only so you might have a chance at one since I would think they would limit the number of how many someone can buy
Hopefully you can grab one, am not sure if they are going to stand by in store only or if they will only do this for a limited time before going to online, highly suggest you sign up to Smyth's email notifications as well, they have been releasing preorders in phases all week, I believe they released more preorders today againCool - I might try that but it'll be a little while till I can get to a Currys!

I think it depends on the games, it's how I have one, it was never gotten because of its specs since tbh they are still a bit dated, it's great for traveling but the steam deck could also be good for thatI'd like to pick one up but I've never been a Nintendo guy, and Its pretty expensive for what it is. Thoughts?
I’d honestly still get the big games on the PS or Steam. Indie games are generally on Steam Nintendo exclusives rarely come down to a good price.That's my thing, its expensive and I doubt they;ll ever get proper good third party games, regardless of what some Hardcore Nintendo cultists will tell you.
Tbh I think they have mostly all of the same games as other platforms an are still working to get some, as far as quality goes though, consoles like Xbox an PS will always have far better quality, even with the switch 2 I could still see games play better on the other platforms, the quality difference in say hogwarts legacy is night an day compared to the Xbox/PS an I don't think the 2 will be much different, I think people were comparing it closer to the PS4/Xbox One which while it's ok it's not to the standard of current consolesThat's my thing, its expensive and I doubt they;ll ever get proper good third party games, regardless of what some Hardcore Nintendo cultists will tell you.
Yeah I've seen some comparisons of the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 compared to the Xbox Series S version and the Switch 2 version is a little sharper. I didn't expect that, especially considering it's so small.The switch 2 is surprisingly well powered (for a Nintendo machine). It's not quite as far behind technologically as they usually are.
But games like GT6 I doubt will be coming out on it, or if they do then it'll lose many of the features.
A big part of why the switch was so successful is they could re-release all the wii U games that flopped. They're going to have to invest a lot more in games this cycle. Probably why they slowed down and they didn't need to put a lot out with mario kart 8 still selling so well despite being 11 years old.
Oh it's definitely well powered for a little Nintendo hand held machine, I was just meaning compared to current consoles it's not quite there yet but then there's quite a difference in the switch compared to the Xbox an PSThe switch 2 is surprisingly well powered (for a Nintendo machine).

Nintendo could make their consoles the equivalent of the latest gen if they really wanted to, but they've never really been about that. They make most of their money from their exclusives like Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, etc etc. So as long as their consoles are good enough to run those, then they're sorted.Oh it's definitely well powered for a little Nintendo hand held machine, I was just meaning compared to current consoles it's not quite there yet but then there's quite a difference in the switch compared to the Xbox an PS
I am worried about the screen share an how well that will work, it looks like such a good add on for them an considering others don't have it then it's a fun novelty to have but I wonder how draining that might be especially if it's in handheld mode, from the commercial it does look to be a bit laggy but am hoping it's not going be one of those things that continuously loses connection an affects the game while it tries to reboot itself, hopefully it's something they can continue to work on with updates an its not going be a once an done thing when it launches
Apparently we may have a direct around launch time as well
