Wait for Switch 1 vs. wait for Switch 2

[PAOerfulone]

Switch 2 definitely has it better in terms of momentum and good will.


But as far as speculation? It was Switch 1 by far... For good AND bad reasons.
The wait for NX (Switch 1) was a VERY grueling period for Nintendo and us fans.
This was right in the middle of the dark days of the Wii U and for as much hype and excitement, there was just as much, if not maybe slightly more, doubt and pessimism.
I remember this site being one giant land mine of speculation and threads about what NX would be. Whether it would succeed or fail. And what didn't help it was the whole lot of nothing going on for the Wii U and, to a lesser degree, the 3DS.
And even after the Switch was revealed, that just amplified even further on both sides, and it just kept on building as we got close to release and it just reached its peak after the January presentation.
