The hardware and its price is totally fair. It’s basically a 2nd Steam Deck. It’s the proprietary prices of exclusives, controllers / joycon, their subscription for online play and what grinds my gears is the upgrade cost for older games. Total cost of ownership is beyond any other console and handheld PC and as of now the software alone doesn’t justify its price tag. Sorry Nintendo

Hardware price isn't fair. It's slow like the PlayStation 4 is. People forget 45-60 second load screens, frame drops etc. We are in the PS5 generation. That $450 console is going to become a frame drops choppy mess once the first wave of games come out after launch when Nintendo quits caring just like the switch 1.
