You might be surprised. I came to the Switch party super late when I bought my kid a switch Christmas 2023. He's all over Zelda now, has BotW, TotK and even Skyward Sword on his Switch. For him, these games are all from the last year. He turned 2 the year BotW was released.

It'll be the same story with Switch 2. Some kid who might not even be born yet will get a Switch 2 in 8-9 years and come across these games with all his school friends.

I doubt I'll go the Switch 2 path with the kids. I haven't seen a reason to upgrade, yet. I'm thinking of the Steam Deck - while the Nintendo had a fairly cheap entry point to get on the platform, I've spent enough on games to negate the difference between a Switch and a Steam Deck - where I already have a 500+ game library to play on it.
