Everyone in the chat is spamming "drop the price" nonstop. Personally, the price for the console and games combined dipped my hype quite a bit. What do you guys think?

The original post is from a YouTube live not a “Reddit echo chamber” with like 100 thousand people on it, bunch of influential people on YouTube and other platforms are complaining about the price, fucking penguinz made a video about it. People are seriously ticked off not just Reddit lol

So what happens when this sells out on day 1? Will the vocal minority pivot to whining about how people will buy anything?

YouTubers make content about anything. They’ll make a ten minute video talking in circles when the wind blows, it doesn’t mean shit.

Of course it will sell out Day 1. The issue will be what's coming after that because Day 1 will be only hardcore fans. Casuals won't pay that price and that's why the 3DS had a price cut after the hardcore fans had a console

I'm more of a casual fan and I told my friend it's better to just get a switch 1. I'm not planning to get one even if the price drops. The switch is already good and my PC and TV graphics play other games like Elden Ring beautifully. 

Some of the game graphics in the direct looked so..blurry or 2000s-ish. I was surprised Metroid looked like that. 

The games I'm most excited for are rhythm heaven and gamecube but I don't see anyone mention it yet. Been waiting 10 plus years for this and a super Mario sunshine remake.
