They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

I also prefer physical games. I have very few digital games on my Switch -- only for massive digital-only sales, or for games that had limited physical runs that I missed. Or when I didn't know a game had a physical release, lol

Some people prefer digital games, and I get it. Especially with kids who might break, lose, or "trade" physical games.
