Yes, I'll sell it. There's no point in keeping it, specially if, as has been recently confirmed, most Switch games will see performance increasings by just running on the Switch 2

By the wording of it, it's pretty clear that any game that had dynamic resolution, long loading times or an unstable framerate will most likely see improvements on Switch 2. Which would render the original Switch completely useless to me.

I keep all my consoles. I don't discard them once the new better younger model comes in

Holding onto my oled switch, until they announce an oled switch 2. Hopefully that comes before the next main zelda game, as the temptations to buy will be hard.

I'll be keeping it as a secondary console. My two kids have a Switch Lite each, and I'll give my OG Day 1 switch to my wife. Most of my library is physical because Nintendo still can't be trusted to handle online accounts and libraries. So I don't have to worry too much about digital games. And maybe this digital game sharing will fix any of the remaining quirks.

We'll be able to take full advantage of the Switch Online Family Membership, too.
