The Switch 2 also does handheld gaming, on top of it functioning as a console. And is backwards compatible. And has rumble. And doesn't play Switch 1 games like ass. And has far more storage space. And its online store is actually fast instead of being slow to the point where it's unsual. Meanwhile the Switch 1's final major game will be Metroid Prime 4, but it will look and run like ass compared to the Switch 2 version (the real version).

And that is without mentioning GameCube being part of Switch Online, which is only on Switch 2. And being able to go backwards in the N64 games, which is also only on Switch 2.
