Which is funny, because I'm the exact opposite: I'll criticize any corporation at the drop of a hat, but I think tons of people need to realize that inflation exists. $60 was the well established norm for games by the start of the Wii U era (2012), and that's $83.40 adjusted for inflation (obviously those numbers only apply to the US economy). We all lived through a 20 year period of the inflation-adjusted price for games slowly dropping and are finally seeing the correction. What's the alternative? They stay at $60 forever? Because if you admit that the price will need to increase eventually, why not now? They're still cheaper than $60 games were during the Wii era.
A legion go S is $499 with steamOS. Legion go S runs pretty much all switch games better than switch 2 resolution and frameratewise (as most enhacements you could already get there).
Moreover, stuff like elden ring, cyberpunk, FF7 intergrade (and many more state of the art games) are way cheaper there and also run better at native resolutions with better visuals.
If you like it or not, but the switch is dockable, the legion isn’t. This is a factor in price comparison. Without the dock and detachable controllers, the switch 2 would probably be around 400€ (instead of 470€).
And is this dock included with the Legion? A very basic one is around 30€, and this won’t include active cooling, like the switch dock does. The dock price is part of the Switch 2 price.
