I mean, when talking about battery life: the Switch 2 is shorter whilst the OLED has it last longer. The thing is, there are games I want to play that are exclusive to Switch 2 (like HW: Age of Imprisonment or DK Banaza), I do have a ToTK special edition OLED switch though. The only difference is performance (as it’s 1080p handheld supporting up to 4K at 120 fps).
They are increasing the console price worldwide, it’s ¥49,980 ($309 / 270€) as of now but later it’ll become ¥59,980 ($371 / 324€), so should I purchase it? Also the console will become $500 / 500€ (for now it remains at $450 / 470€) I’ve heard that a new variant is releasing in 2027 with a portable battery, even then is the console still worth purchasing?
Comments aside from people that don’t own any Switch in general, I enjoy mine. All of my Switch 1 games are improved by playing on the 2, whether just load times or more. If you have a large Switch 1 library, you will benefit. If you want any of the few Switch 2 exclusives, then get it. One year in, I do not think there are necessarily enough Switch 2 exclusive games to justify the cost of entry, if you don’t already have a library of Switch 1 games. That said, like you said, it probably won’t get any cheaper, so if you’re going to eventually get one, maybe think about it sooner. If you play handheld most of the time, maybe consider holding out for the OLED, which does not have a date, and rumors cannot give a date for.
For reference with the Switch 1 OLED, reports indicate that Nintendo purchased OLED screens in March 2021. The Switch OLED was released in October 2021, so a 7 month gap. There have been no reports of Nintendo purchasing shipments of OLED screens that match the specs of the Switch 2.
