Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying?
overload@sopuli.xyz 2 days agoI’m an Australian so I’m not 100% sure on what you’re paying for other consoles at the moment, but the switch 2 hardware is cheaper than the base disc PS5 slim and Xbox series X over here. Don’t even get me started on PC hardware.
Xbox raising their prices to $80 isn’t a good sign. Sony increased the price of the PS5 over here recently even though it won’t be subject to any tariffs, to subsidise their losses in the US.
All that is to say that Nintendo aren’t being so anti-competitive relative to the industry that I think they’re going to be forced to drop prices

There’s no precedent for Nintendo having a lower-powered console priced similarly to the competition. They’re asking people to pay close to the same price for a console that’s significantly weaker. Maybe portability is so popular that people will go for it. We’ll see how it does after the diehards all get theirs and the normies decide whether or not to buy.
