Which button do you think that is Einstein? I dont remember having to get up and press the physical power button on my playstation or Xbox to be able to turn it off. 

Okay, so you mean after playing in docked mode! You didn't specify that until now.

Didn't thought about that because I play Switch 1 + 2 almost always in handheld mode.

Yeah, for Switch gamers often playing in docked mode, that can be annoying.

On the other hand... the Switch 2 only draws 0.4 - 0.5 watts per hour in sleep mode (LAN deactivated), that is  3.5 - 4.4 kW per year. So just ~1 dollar/Euro per year energy costs... I can live with that.

And thanks to the battery a power blackout while the console is in sleep mode is no problem. A PS4 or PS5 or Xbox has to check all internal and external SSDs + HDDs after the reboot and sometimes has to repair damaged data.
