Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

  1. AIn’t nobody got no money.

  2. It’s a Switch, but they added a “2”

  3. $80 for Mario Kart? At that price, we’ve got Mario Kart at home.

In all seriousness, the Nintendo Wii was REVOLUTIONARY when it came out. It was gangbusters when it released. It was $249, which is about $400 in today’s money, but for a completely original and amazing new system. The Wii U wasn’t exactly as revolutionary. It was a controller with a screen that you couldn’t take with you. It was a flop.

The Switch was a modern equivalent of the Wii. It was new. It was different. It was a mobile gaming console.

The Switch 2 IS THE SWITCH. There is nothing new about it to the everyday consumer mom and dad. There are no cool new features. No cool new games. It doesn’t justify itself or the cost to the sticky fingered kid next door who is content with Minecraft on the original Switch. Nintendo did what an American company led by shareholders would do and continued to do more of the same and will likely blame the consumer.
