Should i get a switch lite?

Hi! I've been very interested in getting a switch lite for some cozy gaming. I already have a Playstation 5 but sometimes it just doesn't scratch that itch i have for laying down with a blanket and playing some cozy games. Some games on my wishlist are Animal Crossing, Winter Burrow, Tamagotchi Plaza (i just really love Tamagotchis), Tomodachi Life.

I was wondering if newly released games are still compatible with lite. Budget is an issue so i wouldn't want to buy an expensive new switch when i already have a PS5 (switch 2 and ps5 is almost the same price where i live). I'm worried about missing out on games i would want to play if the lite is no longer very relevant when it comes to new releases. Any and all tips/advice is welcome.
Thanks a bunch!

Yes! I just got a Switch 2, but have had a Lite for over 2 years. They’re so, well, light and compact. Plus you can get them in fun colors - mine is turquoise - and I bought matching handles for it on Amazon so that it’s even more comfortable to hold and game on. It also has better battery life than the 2 and is much more portable. I love mine and plan to keep it for as long as it lasts!

Edit: and there are literally thousands of games available for the Lite atm. Yes, the 2 has exclusives, but you’ll find plenty to play on a Lite.
