Nintendo Co. has asked suppliers to produce as many as 25 million units of the Switch 2 by the end of March 2026, setting the company up for record first-year sales of a console that’s already reached high-water marks for the global gaming sector.
I don’t think it is, it’s $500 w/ Mario Kart, $450 without, and if we compare to the Steam Deck at $400, it has:
better screen resolution, faster refresh rate, and a larger screen (almost an inch bigger)
is lighter, thinner, and overall smaller
has better performance, at least in Cyberpunk 2, with generally better graphics
plays Nintendo first-party games
The Steam Deck has been the handheld to beat. Some are faster, but no PC handheld is anywhere near the Steam Deck in terms of value (price for performance). The Switch 2 beats it in performance, and is a similar price, which is pretty awesome.
The games, however, are really expensive, but we’re talking about hardware value here.

It’s the same form factor but a lot better hardware.
Note that “a lot better hardware” is still hella mediocre given the price tag.
