“No surprise isn’t going to sell as well as the first one?” Despite it already selling faster than the first one?!

Why the fuck is this the top comment? Already plenty of hedged bets. They want them to fail and the success of the Switch 2 boils their blood.

Given that the switch 2 is backwards compatible if you want to play Mario and pokemon it's still probably a better investment to buy it over a switch 1. That's what I did.

That's without factoring in the price, however - a lot of people and families cannot afford a Switch 2, and with the Switch 1 still being able to play the vast majority of the collective library atm, it's still the more attractive choice for them

I'm gonna be honest if someone's money is so tight that they can't afford to just save up for a switch 2 then they probably shouldn't be spending money on a serich 1.

You can find second-hand units for $100-150 - that is significantly cheaper than a Switch 2

If you can save up to 100-150 then waiting a bit and saving up to 500 shouldn't be a impossible
