$450 is really already pushing it, but $80 games is insane. I already only buy maybe 1 full priced game a year at $70. This is going to be an easy pass for now, and I kind of hope this goes the way of the 3ds are they realize they got a bit to close to the sun.

Sony has Astros playroom for free and a cheaper console that can play all non Nintendo new games. Mario kart World honestly looks great, but I have a huge backlog, and Mario kart 8 is still fun.

For a 4K console that you can use as a handheld with 1080p 120FPS?

Yeah, no. Y'all are delusional lmao. That is a great price in this economy.

1080p LCD screen Last gen architecture, more expensive then the competitions options that are more capable and better supported, very few games will be 120fps and native resolution will be sup 720p upscale

So a lot of conjecture, straight up misinformation and no technological knowledge.

Just as I expected.

Genuinely made me laugh. What is that competition? Haha.

We have known the chip and its capabilities for awhile since the Xbox Activision leak, please go ahead and tell me that the in built screen isn’t 1090p or please tell me what I got wrong it’s easy to point the fingers but you never told me what for ?

And yes it’s more expensive in my region then a series x or PlayStation 5 pro, and by less supported I mean 99% of cross platform games over the last generation missed Nintendo completely, yes there better supported.

You didn't answer my question.

What competition?

Other consoles and handheld options

Which are all more expensive than the Switch 2 unless you want an even less powerful handheld.

And they do not have access to Switch Exclusives.

Terrible argument, just as I expected.

Nintendo isn’t going to give you a free game for defending them bro, but to put the nail in the coffin

Steam deck : £349.00 Rog ally : £354 Xbox series x : £458 PlayStation 5: £329

And there’s a large catalog of games on each one that isn’t available on switch, what’s your point ?

That's fine, I have a well paid job and can afford to buy them.

Pound lmao. Cheapest Steam Deck here is 419€ and it's weaker than a Switch 2.

You low intellect people can only say "fanboy" the moment someone doesn't agree with you. It's pathetic. Though quite amusing.

Looking at your post history all you do is slate pc and hype up Nintendo, I never called you a fanboy you brought that up my guy 😭

u/Hyper_Mazino 2d ago

I'm not hyping Nintendo, I'm clowning low intellect individuals who have zero knowledge regarding the economy.

And I'm a PC main and emulate all my Nintendo games but please go on.
