Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days

I find it ridiculously impressive given how abhorrently expensive purchasing and owning it is.

It really isn’t. Nintendo consoles always sell out at launch. It’s how they’re doing six months or so later that actually matters.

Honestly compared to other handhelds and current-gen consoles, the price seems OK for what you're getting. The problem for me has always been how expensive Nintendo's games are, $80 seems way too much.

As if, the console’s a scam and the game pricing is just the cherry on top. Half committing to caring about how much things cost is a waste of time, either acknowledge they’re both garbage or stop spreading this half assed attitude.

Didn’t realise that consoles were sports teams that you were either in the club or out of it. OP is allowed to have a nuanced take.

The Switch 2 being a bad deal and Nintendo having a VERY strong history of anti-consumer behavior has nothing to do with console wars. The person you are replying to is equally allowed to have a nuanced take.
What, are you expecting every comment critical of Nintendo to also include criticism of how terribly Xbox has managed it’s game studios just so we can be “fair and balanced”?

Sega does what Nintendon’t.
It warms my old man heart to see the console flame wars still going strong. Tribalism, what a thing, lemme tell ya. Human nature at its naturist.

Then point me to another handheld that can do the same thing for $450

Isn’t the cheapest steam deck $480? Does the switch do something more or less the same?

Do what? Play one game?

You’re right, enjoy your $700 PS5 Pro 🤡
The truth is that literally everything costs too much. $399.99 (switch 1 launch price in 2017 USD) is $524.57 in USD today (source so $499.99 bundle with Mario Kart World is actually cheaper than Switch 1 with no game.
Blame the system that fucked your currency, and refuses to raise your pay appropriately.
