Yes, when combined with the switch 1

I keep retyping what I want to say, but I think my feelings come down to:

  1. There are 150 million switch 1's in the wild, that's going to continue to be a massive pull for developers when porting new games.
  2. Many families may already have the switch 1, are the exclusives enough of a pull to encourage those people to upgrade?

I do think the switch 2 will do just fine, but I also think there are a lot of people who loved their switch 1 who might look at the games they played, and look at upgrading to a steamdeck instead of the switch 2.
