I have been ready to pull the trigger on the Switch 2 a few times now but I am holding off for a few readons:

1. The screen. It is awful. Especially when comparing to something like the Switch Oled or even the PS Portal.
2. The Price is still too high. Why cant we at least get a region locked version like Japan for 350?
3. I've heard the updated form factor makes a difference but im afraid it will kill my hands like the original Switch. The PS Portal is so comfortable its crazy. Its the most comfortable handheld I have ever had by a mile. I will probably need to get a grip for the Switch 2.

Now all that being said I am apprehension about waiting because what if prices go up and how much will a Oled Switch 2 cost?

Im already sold on a PS6 handheld just because I know it will be super ergonomic. And although I think it will be a hybrid like the Switch, it still wont play Nintendo games. Whats gonna be wild is if the PS6 handheld comes in cheaper or the same price as the Switch 2. The one thing Sony has to deal with is gonna be those ram prices.

My Switch 2 is supposed to ship to me today, so I can let you know what I think about the screen later.

About the price, it is also expensive here, but I set goals for what I should pay for hardware, so I did the same with the PS5, and I was surprised the Switch 2 came close to my pricing goal so early, the PS5 took 2 years to reach it, and if it is still too pricey for you, hold on, that's what I do.

For reference the PS5 launch price here was 5000, and the Switch 2 was 4500 (pretty easy comparision with the USD prices, just slash the last 0).

I set goals of 3500 for the PS5 and 3000 for the Switch 2, WAY lower than the launch price. Got my PS5 Horizon Bundle for 3600 and my Switch 2 for 3100. I dunno how long it will take for them to be around what I think I should pay, but I'll just wait until it gets really close to that.

About the form factor, I only pity the Switch, and the Switch 2 now, are too big to carry around, but I never had a problem holding the Switch, it obviously is not as comfortable as a controller, but I don't think it is a problem at all.
