You all need to remember the target audience of these consoles - Nintendo streamers and children. These people do not care about HDR as much as your traditional PC gamers do. They are going to cut corners to make the console as cheap as possible and only as powerful as needed for their gimmicks to run smoothly.
I dislike the Switch 2 and Nintendo for many reasons, but the lack of good HDR is not one of them.
Edit: realizing after the post this is a Nintendo group, so I am prepared for my downvotes.
I own a large 8k Samsung TV I normally play ps5 on. I don’t think I like HDR is what I’m learning. For my birthday recently I was gifted a ps portal ( I think my wife wants me off the tv lol) the screen honestly looked better than the TV to me. I figure I must have the HDR settings all wrong. I don’t know what else it could be. I think pc gaming in genral likes tinkering, I just like things to work. I was shocked how much better my games looked on this little 1080 screen. It was wild honestly.
I’ll probably pick up a switch 2 because I like Mario Kart. The game will end up looking good enough for me.
Overall I agree with your statement but not the sentiment they are being as cheap as possible. I think they are just recognizing that some stuff doesn’t mater to everyone.
And honestly people pushing graphics above all else miss out on good games anyway.

Fair, but they’re charging 450$ and advertised HDR, if they’re going to ask that kind of money for an advertised feature, it should be at least decent
Yeah for sure. I’m not going to get one until they make a Switch 2 OLED. I’ve got standards, man.
The one I bought last night is totally going to be my wife’s.
LMAO, yea totally
I bought one too, but it’s going straight to a shelf to stay on launch firmware for the greatest chance for hacking and piracy lol
You’re very mistaken if you think only those two groups of people buy the Switch 2
They said target audience, not the only customers.

Why do you dislike the Switch 2?
