With 2 new switch systems coming (one replacing the OG) I thought it would be interesting to see what era is getting, or not getting.

Which new switch system are you getting, or not?

I sold my launch Switch in December 2018 knowing new models were coming. What I really hoped for was basically the Switch Lite but dockable, but since that's not on the table I'll be getting the new revision of the original.
I've been waiting to get my daughter her own switch, so she doesn't monopolize mine, and I'm torn.
The cheaper one would be more cost effective, but they'd need to have a really easy way to switch back and forth (like Bowser suggested they were working on), because she loves playing on the TV.
With the announcement of the extended battery regular version, I might splurge and get that for myself and she can have the old one. Still on the fence.

I can't justify a new switch considering how little i play it(I'm trying to put more focus on it though). So nothing for me...
Switch Lite for me and my little brother.
Would like something a little more portable. Lite does that for me.

Got a launch one here. If they reveal a full-fledged Pro model later, I'll grab that. But not gonna bother with Lite or vanilla updated one.
I'm tempted to keep the og docked all the time and pick up a lite but I don't think I can justify it.
OG is gonna stay docked and the Lite is coming with me. It feels good to have a dedicated portable again.
I was thinking of going to the Switch Lite because I like the portability (I use my OG Switch portably most of the time) and because of its battery improvements, but the Switch revision's way higher battery life has me wanting to go that route instead. I'm still not so happy with the weight and size of the Switch as IMO it's too big, but that battery life boost has me seriously tempted.
Stick with the OG. Really interested by the Lite but my girlfriend will buy one when Animal Crossing release.

I want to get both new models cos I'm cray, the updated model should be able to be had for quite cheap if reselling OG switch, 2nd hand switchs are going for about £200 on ebay, so thats an extra £79 for 2.5hrs battery, mmmm that's more money then I thought, I'm might just stick with OG + lite.
Yellow Switch Lite + 128GB SD card and some kind of hybrid case for me. Sold all my switch games + OG model a few months ago so this time I'm jumping back in all digital
From everything I've read, there will be no gameplay performance boost. But instead a massive increase in battery life.
Will wait till next year and make a decision then. I really would like to see a pro model and all this talk about drift makes me exceptionally sensitive to dropping $300.
I've been holding out for new Switch models and now I'm torn. If I get a Switch, it'll mostly be used in handheld mode. So un-decided whether to get the cheap Lite which will do the job and looks great, big fan of the style, or go for the more expensive updated model. I'm leaning to the updated Switch though, that battery life sounds too good and even if I don't dock it often I still might occasionally so it might be worth having the option...
This right here.
If they would have come out with a pro I might be onboard.
I'll be trading in my OG model for the updated one. The battery life increase is huge for me since I love playing in handheld mode, but don't want to be connected to an external battery all the time, and the increase is significant enough to where I typically won't need to be connected to one. I'll likely be picking one up as soon as it drops.
Their method of support for people with multiple switches is just horrible, so I'll just be sticking with my OG one
Not sure if I should get the Lite or not. The joycon and the build quality of the past Nintendo consoles make me warry of getting one so soon after the release.
I'll get a Lite to play Fire Emblem, Link's Awakening, and Luigi's Mansion. Hopefully there will be a more exciting revision of the proper Switch by the time BotW2 and Metroid come out, but if not I'll get the updated Switch to play whichever of those comes out first (or any other game I'd prefer to play on my TV).
Was initially waiting to get a Switch when enough games that I actually wanted to play on the system were released. Then, after the rumor of an upgrade, I decided to wait. Seems like the wait wasn't really worth it though since mine will end up being in docked mode 95% of the time anyway. At least there are now enough games on it that makes it worth a purchase to me though, and the extended battery life is a bonus.
Just gonna stick with the OG Switch for now. The extra battery life in the updated model is nice, but not enough for me to warrant an upgrade for me.
I don't play undocked enough to where the updated Switch with more battery life appeals to me. If it had better specs -- even if a minor difference -- i'd get it, but as it stands I don't need more battery. So ATM sticking with OG.
I'm getting the OG this weekend, I'll play mostly at home anyway on the couch so the extra battery life from the updated one is pretty irrelevant for me.
I only play docked at home now, because I found the new switch a bit bulky to lug to my bad minimum wage job and stuff in a locker, and didn't love pulling it out on the bus.
I'd love to pick up a second, smaller system for work.
Keeping my OG, want to get the bigger battery life one later. Mini as a gift.
Then I'll see if I can hack it and leave it for just that
