We went from anxiously waiting for the Nintendo Switch 2 launch this month to the console now being out for over a week. While Nintendo Switch 2 restocks haven’t exactly been hard to come by, 3.5 million units have already been sold. The console is a hit, and like those millions of people, I’ve been spending time with Nintendo’s latest system.
Thanks to the Switch 2's stronger specs, games look fantastic and run smoother. The Switch 2 isn’t comparable to a PS5 Slim or Xbox Series X performance-wise, but Nintendo’s system can run graphically demanding games that its predecessor couldn't. And though Switch 2 isn’t a complete redesign of the previous console, quality-of-life changes such as bigger Joy-Cons and a stronger kickstand make a big difference.
