I'll probably wait to see if there's a Switch 2 Lite (or whatever) for $300. Maybe it'll include a game too.

Why would you give money to Nintendo?

Because they want to play games and have fun

You can do that without giving money to Nintendo.

Hopefully, I won't have to get the console for several months - if not years. Nintendo's launch titles usually aren't anything to write home about. BotW was a notable exception in recent memory, but was also available on the previous generation.
I notice they tend to have one "killer app" and then the rest of it isn't much to write home about, at least since the N64 (SNES had a whopping 2: F-Zerp and Mario World). The exception being the Wii U, which had... Nintendo Land? NSMB-U? Nothing really.
N64: Mario 64 (and had almost literally nothing else until StarFox)
GameCube: Luigi's Mansion
Wii: Twilight Princess, or Wii Sports, since TP also released for GameCube
Switch: BotW -

They sell the hardware at a loss andinitial adopters are more likely to be able to find an exploit that allows the console to play pirated games. If a Lite comes out early enough, there's hope that it might be exploitable.It's my understanding that the Steam Deck is not performant when it comes to running Switch games via Yuzu/Ryujinx so it would probably be even worse with Switch 2 games, which are probably more taxing to emulate.
All that said, I have a Switch Lite that I share with my wife and I like it. There are so many companies you're "not allowed" to buy from according to Lemmy lol, I don't have the time for that. Almost all publishers are ass, should I never buy a game again?
Edit: As pointed out, Nintendo consoles are not sold at a loss.

Switch: BotWIt's been so long since Odyssey and we've just had Totk, I'd guess another 3D Mario is likely their S2 'killer app'. Could be Legends Z-A or Metroid Prime 4 too, both of which would be cross generation. However, I'm not exactly dying to get my hands on any of these either way, especially not Pokemon.

Yeah, I'm betting on at least a new 3D Mario too. Wouldn't be surprised if Z-A was cross generation. Maybe the new Mario Kart they showed off in the short trailer. I don't think Prime 4 will be out right at launch but I could see it in the first year.
