I dunno, I mean the first new system under Furukawa's leadership is overpriced and so far in a year has massively underdelivered in terms of games, the complete opposite of the Switch's first year. Nintendo seems to have lost its way in their core market (games) and their respect for their customers. I love the movies they are coming out with but the Switch 2 is a big disappointment so far (maybe they'll turn it around but doesn't look good), and has so far only sold based on hype of being the successor to the final system developed before Furukawa took over. Literally don't know anything about the two men, but it'd be hard to say Nintendo's leadership is good at this moment given the lack of being prepared to start a new gen despite the Switch's longest lifecycle ever, and the horrible pricing on top of that. Not a good look for the first system released under him.

I think the current market position the Switch 2 is in disagrees with most of your statements.. 

The price has clearly been accepted by most people, especially in the light of the other console options being 100-200 $ more expensive by now.

On the software side, i agree it hasn't been as spectacular as the Switch 1's first year, but massively underdelivered is not not something i would use for that. Also, software heavily depends on ones taste, so it might not have been for you, but obviously other people have enjoyed the output so far.

It might have been a disappointment for you overall, but you are not representing the general consensus around the Switch 2, otherwise things would look a lot different with Nintendos numbers.
