If it would be available in stores like nintendo, I doubt people there would be much issue regarding high price.
Depends. I still remember when the PS4 price was unveiled in Brazil. Back then, it cost the equivalent of ~1700 dollars

I find it amusing how much there is discussion around the price of this when it only ships to like 1/4th of the world. If it would be available in stores like nintendo, I doubt people there would be much issue regarding high price.

That’s the first batch, if it will get traction it will be shipped to the rest of the world in no time

Steamdeck still hasn’t been available in many places :( let’s hope. With how pc prices are looking, I just want a decent console that can run my steam library and minecraft.

True, but also the list of places is steadily expanding

Im not sure I follow your logic. What would shipping location have to do with complaints about price?
Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
That most of the world isn’t even going to have access to it, no matter the price. Could be imported but that’s not cheap and no warranty on a custom built is terrible.

What relevance is this to how the price is recieved?
More than that, it is probably the case that excluding china (because of tight government control), that 1/4th probably covers 4/5ths of the reachable customers for this device.

I just shared my thoughts. Redditors are miserable.

Reddit and lemmy claimed Switch 2 would fail when the prices were revealed. Having your console in stores plays a role here. What’s truly irrelevant here is reddit/lemmy 's reactions.
