Will I buy Switch 2 on day 1?  Very unlikely.
Will I buy Switch 2 ever?  Maybe, but it also won't take much to turn that "maybe" into a "yes".  Backwards compatibility helps a lot.

The only systems I've ever bought on day 1 are the SNES and Switch.  I bought the SNES, because Nintendo Power said it would have the next Zelda on it (i.e. Link to the Past).  I bought the Switch for Breath of the Wild.  Basically for me to buy any system on day 1, it better have a Zelda game that I really want on it, and my standards are really high for Zelda games.  I still haven't played TotK nor do I plan to.

I need to see what kind of software Switch 2 will have before I know if I will ever buy it, but chances are high that it will eventually have enough games that I want.  I've owned every Nintendo handheld since the GBA, since they eventually all get a very good library of games.  Mario Kart 9 is not enough for me on its own though.
