On balance, Switch 2 is the most competitive Nintendo have been since the Gamecube.

While the handheld form factor brings with it inherent physical limitations, the power gap vs the competition hasn't been this small in twenty years.

Absolutely. This is the first time since they went with the less powerful strategy starting with the Wii that Nintendo is actually coming out with a legit powerful system. Very impressive system. Of course they threw away affordability which is gonna make the Switch 2 less competitive in terms of sales.

$450 is hardly unaffordable by 2025 standards; the original Switch is nearly $400 in today's money, and the Switch OLED costing $350 in 2021 is like $420 today accounting for inflation. There will also be the inevitable cheaper Switch 2 Lite in a couple of years, plus potentially a cheaper all-digital Switch 2 as well if Nintendo see the need.

A lot of forum goers thought Switch 1 was overpriced when it launched at the same price as PS4, yet it went on to outsell Sony's machine easily.
