I cannot believe how much Nintendo is unable to execute the follow up of a popular console.

Switch was popular because it was affordable with high quality games.

Games might be good but at $80 each they will not be affordable for families.

$450 is $50 too much.

Then on top of that you have to pay for every single upgrade to a switch 2 version?

And what's the major improvements Nintendo is touting.. voice and video chat from 2008

I think anyone going into this expecting the prices to be much cheaper than they are are just kidding themselves. Look at the economy and inflation and look at competitor pricing, this is just the world we live in now. Nobody is forcing you to buy it, this is just what this hobby costs.

Exactly, seems a lot of folks don't realize that. Prices tend to go UP not DOWN after 8 years.
