Looking to Jump Ship from PS5 to Switch 2 - Any Advice?

Hey everybody!

So I’m sure everyone is aware of the PR nightmare that Sony has been going through in the last few months. I’ve been a PlayStation fanboy especially since the PS3 days and my current console is the disc version of the standard PS5.

Unfortunately, between their recent consumer-last business practices (dynamic pricing has just started to appear) and their need to stray away from discs and their combative tendency toward game ownership has left a sour taste in my mouth and to tell the truth: there aren’t any PS exclusives that have me excited especially now that Kingdom Hearts will be on multiple consoles on release.

All this being said: I’m trying to be financially responsible so I’m considering selling my PS5 and getting a Switch 2 - I’m a HUGE Star Fox and Nintendo’s refocus on Star Fox has been really exciting, and Nintendo always has such a good focus on releasing exclusives that actually get people excited. I’m also a big movie collector, and I just recently pulled the trigger on a Panasonic 4K player so I no longer have to rely on my PS5 for that either.

My question however is: has anyone else done this yet and if so, how did you justify it to yourself? My biggest concern point right now is that even though I don’t technically own any of it, my PS5 account has YEARS of digital purchases back into the PS4 days and if I sell my console, it’ll all be gone. I hate the idea that I’d have to buy some games again, but the only option is to buy the Switch 2 outright and keeping the PS5 which honestly, I have no interest in doing because I don’t need more gaming options to choose from. I just want one core console.

If anyone has done this, I’d love to hear what your thoughts were at the time, and bluntly: would I be an idiot for letting my PS5 go when it has hundreds of backlogged games?

Thanks everyone!
