The negativity towards the Switch 2 is really disheartening. The console is on its way to beat its forecast of 19 million units in only ten months in its first year on the market and many people still act as if it is "slowing down" or as if its sales were concerning. If it had a full year on the market the console would most likely clear 20m units. As a reference: The PS3 and PS4 never had a single calendar year with over 20 million units in sales (using VGChartz data here, thus comparing fiscal years to calendar years. Quick Google search shows PS4 had one fiscal year at 20.3m units). The PS5 had one year above 20 million.
I remember the early Wii days on this forum when people said the market would get tired of the "fad" that was the Wii and sales would slow down soon. I was here when the infamous "cliff" was invented as a way to predict a Switch sales collapse. But at this point, people are flat out looking at the best first year ever in console history and still try to discredit it. It's absolutely insane.
