Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED?

Yes, because the hardware is subsidised by the overpriced games. Factor in any reasonable rate of game buying and you’ve broken even in no time flat.

  Cherry picking a couple of titles to compare is not a great method. On average, games tend to cost less on Steam. It’s well known and there’s lots of sources online. Here’s a few:

  That’s not even taking into account localised prices, which will see huge price drops for a large portion of customers on Steam, while Nintendo thinks everybody’s earning in USD.

    But that doesn’t mean I regret my purchase either.
    
    I’m not telling you to, my original comment was just pointing out the absurdity of calling Nintendo the budget option. I guess we’re agreed on that point now?
