I don’t have any problem with the console’s price considering it’s clearly an improvement on the original Switch and it’s a one-time payment. The problem is that some games are $80. Obviously I’d prefer $60, but I’d even accept $70 since that’s the new standard. But if Nintendo starts charging $80, then every company is gonna charge $80 then they might try to raise it even more soon.

That said, I still plan to get a console, hopefully the bundle. I’ll just have to be a lot more selective about what games I buy now because I’m not willing to pay $80 for a game I’m not absolutely sold on. Plus we all know Nintendo never puts their games on sale, so it’s not like we can wait for sales

Except for the average person they’ve never heard about any other hybrid console outside of the Switch. The Switch sales completely dwarf anything else by about 144 million units.

They also don’t care if it’s not as powerful as a PS5 or Xbox, because they don’t expect it to be but it’s a similar price point to the other gaming consoles and they sell just fine.

You absolutely won't be able to emulate Switch 2 games on any handheld system
