True, these are good points, although there's also limited real estate in the living room, so if 1 device can serve multiple roles that's a win. But I definitely appreciate your perspective, that's what I came here for!

I guess one thing I'm wondering about is if you think I'll find the kind of lighthearted games I enjoy on Xbox? Like, clearly, specific Nintendo titles won't be available (at least not without an emulator), but are there simple/quick/family-style games available for the Xbox? Or is that really a market that Nintendo has cornered and I shouldn't look at other consoles?

You will get those kinds of games on other platforms too but, in my opinion anyway, Nintendo does them best.

You're also getting a handheld with a Switch which, is a great feature if you've got kids or are sharing the space with someone else. Being able to just pop the console out and continue playing definitely makes it less of a living room hog.
