I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

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?

There is a slightly more expensive family version of NSO that you can add up to 8 users to

I've found codes for the family pass on legit key selling sites for around the same price as an individual key, so it's worth checking before you buy ๐Ÿ‘
