@Lieutenant Nintendo doesn't have competition anymore in Japan. Sony killed off the Vita and more recently has pretty much become an American company (especially since Jim Ryan took over) meanwhile Xbox hardware has never done well in Japan.
That is why I find the Switch so fascinating, it breaks a lot of the rules when it comes to “shouldn’t do that’s” but they can get away with it because really they have no real competition, not just in Japan, but really anywhere. No one is quite doing what Nintendo is doing, even misusing the first party lineup, you could argue in a lot of ways if you own a PC, there is limited reason to also own a Xbox/PS5 but I feel like even despite limited hardware, a Switch and PC can exist side by side.
@Anti-Matter Well a lot of their decisions are American based nowadays and their headquarters moved from Japan to America (California). Sony are still a Japanese company but like @Snatcher says, you wouldn't be able to tell without looking back at their history.

Mostly, yea, but Sony is still cranking out the awesome exclusives you just can't get on PC. I know they brought Horizon Zero Dawn to PC, but I don't think Uncharted, God of War, Last of Us, Spider Man, Ratchet, etc. have been. I could be wrong about some of those, though. Maybe the new Spider Man is on PC, actually?
@rallydefault Uncharted 4 + Lost Legacy are coming in 2022 and GoW (2018) is coming in January 2022. You can tell by the acquisition of Nixxes and the shorter gap between PC ports now that Sony's taking PC seriously.
Much like Nintendo will run out of Wii U games to port to Switch soon, there will come a time when Sony's ran out of PS4 games to port to PC and so will likely at some point delve into the PS5 library too.
Based on some of the stuff on the forum I was vaguely dreading the OLED transfer, but within about an hour I was picking up right where I left off on my old Switch on my OLED and my Step Mum was enjoying Animal Crossing on my old switch which had now been transferred into her ownership. A real painless experience.
Transfers only suck if you have a ton of digital games. When I transferred to the OLED, I had several 1TB micro SD cards worth of games to redownload. Took about a week of nonstop downloading to do all 3 of them. But you only have to do it once and then it’s done, and you forget all about it afterward.
And btw, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
Since this day only comes once a year, and so much consumerism takes the spotlight nowadays, I thought I’d post the nativity excerpt as a memorial to Christmas
From Luke 2:
2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

Yeah, luckily I only keep the games on my Switch I am currently playing and then delete them when I am done, redownloading stuff as required from the Eshop, so I only had to download a handful of games and I was back up and running.
I currently have Ring Fit on cartridge and downloaded I have Dusk, MH Rise, Mario Kart, Skyward Sword HD, Loop Hero, SPLATOON 2 and Mario Party Superstars.
They should provide Ring Fit as a free digital download. I’d actually use it more if I didn’t have to put the cartridge in (and I can’t keep it in because my micro SD holder cart is occupying that space).

Luckily for me I am basically exclusively digital, so I can let Ring Fit live inside my Switch. I will also say I remember reading stuff about difficulties getting the cart slot open but I had no issues at all.
Same here, only problem is I have multiple microSD because they still haven't released 2TB cards yet. So cartridge slot is occupied. I do have my original Switch set up in the basement for Ring Fit, but truth is I'd use it more if I had it in my room.
I haven't had any issues with the slot either, and I keep my nails really short. Feels about the same as the Vita cartridge flap.
Be sure to put tempered glass on the screen. It may already be glass but that thin anti-shatter film can easily scratch.
