Bought a Switch for my boy (9yr old). The controllers and small screen are both better than I expected in terms of both build and usability.
I wouldn't rush to buy it though mainly because of price and what's included with the console game wise (nothing). Unless you have a burning desire to play Zelda wait for Mario Kart to launch or packages to start becoming available with games included. Mario is end April, I'd guess Christmas for bundles to show up at any decent discount.
One of the reasons Wii U did so poorly was the dev kit for it was so crap. I hear that's fixed with the Switch. All told I'm expecting this to be a hit over the next few years.
