How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

This exactly. But also still on PS5 since playing online together still just works better on a console or PC. 

Both my kids have ditched the Switch for PC and PS5 gaming. Some mobile as well but my oldest has an older phone, youngest no phone yet. 

It's not the power or quality of the Switch, my youngest and his nephew play on old laptops together so they can sit side by side while playing their online games together. Performance is not a deal breaker, online functionality is for kids.

Got to have your you tuber an alt-tab away and Discord running while playing. My oldest has his phone and laptop next to him while playing online on PS5. Kids can't handle the single screen experience anymore!

Yeah - I have no statistics, just my observations over longer period of time, but my kids, growing up, were pretty much in tiny minority that played Nintendo games among their peers - and that's only cause I introduced them to Zelda early in their lives.
These days, among my wife and me, I have 5 kids, and only one plays Nintendo games regularly (just recently got Switch 2 for him), all other are PC and mobile. Sure, it's anecdotal, but all their friends are pretty much the same - PC and mobile, with occasional PS, XB or Switch.

Nintendo is maybe in slightly better position than the others when it comes to younger demographics (though I have my doubts), but they are all faltering so far.

153 million Switch 1 systems + record breaking launch of Switch 2 tells me Nintendo is not the one losing sleep over anything. Nintendo could easily have 160+ million Switch 1 units too if they really wanted it via a price cut. No one else is moving game hardware at the volume they are moving it at. Switch 2 is going to shred the PS5 for yearly sales while giving Sony a 6 month headstart on the year for example, that's bonkers. 

Sony and MS are the ones rushing to put their games on other platforms, that is more telling. If anything Nintendo has backed off smartphone games and aren't supporting that so much anymore, whereas 10 years ago it looked like they were locking that in as a big part of their future. They found more success through the hybrid concept of the Switch. 

The Mario movie and theme park expansions have been massively successful too and I said this before the Mario Movie (I called that it would be a big hit) ... that Zelda movie if the script is even half decent is going to do monstrous business. Nintendo is going to be the next MCU IMO.
