I was just looking at Switch games in the store this weekend. Even games that came out when Switch launched are still nearly $60. The console is slow and laggy. Nintendos online networks are laughable and cheesy. It's such a barebones and cruddy system with overpriced games and it never drops in price or popularity. People make no sense to me.

First party Nintendo games maintain value forever. This is not exclusive to the switch.

None of the first party games are slow or laggy.

Online is nothing special. Splatoon 3 plays great, though.

First party games and indie games are the only great reasons to own a switch and if you stick to those guns, most everything you said doesn't hold water.

Well, except Pokémon. But we don't talk about Pokémon.
