I am eagerly anticipating the new Switch 2.

For any particular reason?

When I was a kid and I was into consoles, when they announced the next gen one I felt bummed because that meant the console I had at home was going to lose its support.

Lol, ok.

I think the main reason for getting a game console is playing the exclusive games. If somebody is a sucker for Nintendo exclusives, then I get it :-)

When rereading this post the words "Old Technology" popped in my head.

Just had to say that.

Old tech doesn't bother Me a bit.
If I press the Power Switch and it turns on so I can use it, why worry?

Because at the time I interpretated it as having no more games made for my console, which meant if I ever wanted to expand my collection I would need to invest in a more modern system, which was a no-no.

Mind you, second hand market for games wasn't much of a thing. There was not that much Internet and not many dedicated game stores.

So yeah I kept replaying my collection for long. In addition, small studios kept releasing games for the old system for quite a while so the deal was not that bad.

Replacement for my gaming computer?
