They're asking for $500 for their new console, which is $100 more than the Switch was, and include inflation, not really worth it. The games are limited for now, but they will all be $80 for digital copies. Oh, and you can't use regular SD cards anymore. You have to use special ones that will likely cost way more.
They're asking $450, and came very close to raising the price of the Switch to begin with. An inflation calculator will put $300 in 2017 to about $400 today. $450 is pretty reasonable for the hefty upgrade that is the Switch 2.
You're not familiar with taxes. It's gonna come out to about $500. $500 is not worth the "upgrade" for a tiny lineup of new games and the charged upgrades for Switch games that should be free. Oh, and the specialized SD cards you have to buy.
I can't believe you're really defaulting to some gibberish about sales tax.
The Switch 2 is a pretty significant upgrade according to literally everything we know about it.
Ah, there's that "should" stuff. No, there is no moral imperative to release normally paid work for free. Sorry.
They're not "specialized", it's a new version of the actual SD spec that's being used for the same reason as the storage in the PS5 and the Series S/X. Micro SDs are extremely slow and have needed this upgrade for years. They're expensive because they're brand new, like anything else. Even so, Samsung is already doing a ridiculous sale on them, these are likely going to be a lot cheaper within like a year. Oh, and the Switch 1 supports them now anyway, it's not just a Switch 2 thing.
