I've no idea what the discourse is like today but from what I recall:
- Nintendo: if you really like the Marios, Zeldas, sidescrollers and platformers.
- Sony: if you like highly cinematic games, action adventure games with good graphics and JRPGs.
- Microsoft (consoles after Halo 3): if you need the yearly releases of WWE and sports games and you want to support American businesses. Also, at some point, there was Lost Odyssey.
Have things changed?

Every switch owner I know has a terrible opinion of the switch 2s price and the new 90$ price tag they started for games.
Meanwhile more and more people around me are buying a steam deck, I have converted 4 people last year alone. Even my nephew has one and is happy with it.

i'm not up to date on general console discourse. but i know for a fact Nintendo, though never famous for being cheap, has been going mental lately. $80 for Mario Kart is mind boggling

I would say JRPG is on par or better on Switch, than Playstation nowadays.

I loved my Switch. I'm not even considering buying a Switch 2. I'll just stick to pc gaming.

I'm also struggling to think of any JRPGs that have been released on Switch but not PS4/5 (aside from first party like Mario RPG). While I can probably name a dozen that the Switch hardware can't even handle.

My friend was ok with $90 price tag because he doesn't buy many games, as for me hard pass to switch 2 and its games.

I love my steam deck. It's the reason why I finally ditched Windows for Linux on my gaming PC.
This past week I got into emulation on it and have been shocked at how well it has been performing.

Millions of Steam Decks and their ilk have been sold, and run games significantly better on SteamOS than their Windows counterparts, to the point that Microsoft is reportedly cancelling their own gaming handheld plans. Not a massive challenger to the Switch 2 for most ordinary people, but things are definitely changing.

Well you have Final Fantasy up to 12, Persona, Dragon Quest, Octopath, Bravely Default II, Suikoden remaster, which are some multi platform games.
Xenoblade, Fire Emblem are two pretty heavy and exclusive series. Then as you mentioned Mario RPG (+paper mario).
I agree there are some recent JRPGs that are probably too demanding though. Clair Obscur I am hoping for a Switch 2 version, but we will see.

That's such a great way to phrase that.
The switch 2 has a lot more competition than the switch had, and hasn't made up much ground.

People around me have a different sort of take. Most of them have big powerful desktops already, and Deck doesn't really appeal to them, so they all ended up buying Switch 1s eventually for the exclusives and portable use, and will likely follow with Switch 2. Deck is still amazing value though, considering it's a full Linux PC you can take anywhere and use how you wish.

The people around me argue the exact opposite. When they have a desktop, they already have a hige library of games that they dont have to ourchase. But even the ones that dont have a desktop usually get persuaded when I tell them waht some games cost during sales.

Fair enough. Steam sales are a pathway to deals some consider unnatural, or so the saying goes. Especially with things like Humble Bundle.
