Summary
After buying a £400 Switch 2, he finds it faster and better-looking, but fundamentally unchanged beyond incremental hardware. He criticizes uncomfortable mouse-style Joy-Con use, weak modern-game support, repetitive franchises, and paid 60-FPS Zelda upgrades. Easy day-one availability and muted hype lead him to predict a possible flop, as existing Switch owners lack compelling upgrade reasons.
Insight
Buyer’s remorse again follows when incremental technology fails to justify its cost.
