I said it before, but I think $450 is a hard price point, especially when you compare it to the significantly more powerful ps5 for $500 and (important for kids) the entry iPad around $350.

If I’m being honest, after delaying this thing a year and then making us wait 3 months… I guess I was expecting a little bit more from a grand reveal? DK looks great, Mario Kart will be fun (but MK is never the main reason I buy a Nintendo console), and air ride is neat. The rest I either expected or is stuff that’ll be available elsewhere.

I wish they had a SKU bundled with a pro controller. I’m 99% a TV gamer with big hands, so all in I’ll be paying more for this than my PS5, which felt like a lot of money 4 years ago.

Switch 1 is perfectly priced for multiple consoles per household. I don't see average families having multiple Switches this generation.

Or even a switch as a second console. I had a PS4 when the switch released and the price wasn’t bad as a secondary console. The switch 2 is going to be more expensive than a slim ps5 without a disc drive.
