  Have you seen the specs of the switch 2? Why does Nintendo keep getting away with charging premium for dated hardware with mediocre specs? I get the games are good but come on

    The hardware really isn’t dated though. Remember this is a handheld, not a console, and it’s using a newly designed custom Nvidia chip. Mainstream audiences aren’t going to be deeply analyzing the specs. They’re just going to look at the games. And the games look very good and are running at 4K.

        Oh so you don’t like it when other people seem to pull arguments out of their ass but then it’s ok when you go ahead and do it?

        Ok, please describe your playtesting experience with 4K games on Switch 2.

        Indeed I should have said “up to 4K” and of course that is usually going to require using Nvidia’s excellent DLSS tech. But at the end of the day, the results are a visual treat. Again, mainstream consumers don’t think about stuff like this. It’s a solid upgrade over Switch. Thing is going to sell out instantly and be hard to get for a year just like the original regardless of what we think.

    people buy them for the motion sensors and the games. the tech is irrelevant. The NES was ancient tech when it came out. Most of the games on PS are too hard and/or inappropriate for children.

      You’re gonna have a very hard time convincing me that even I proportionality of switch owners bought it for the motion sensors.

      I also don’t understand how you can say that and “the tech is irrelevant“ in the same comment? Those two ideas bump.

      If your argument is “Nintendo is for kids“ I think you’re going to have a hard time selling me on that one too. “PS is too hard and inappropriate for children” is definitely a novel argument I’ll give you that.

    Just an FYI, Sony is raising the price of the PS5.

      I knew that. Is this supposed to be some sort of trap to show I’m inconsistent or something?
