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

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?

    it would be the budget option at this price
    
    You mean the steam hardware?
    
    Yeah, hardware prices are fucked, but there’s hope on the horizon, if China really does start pumping out memory. Won’t help with GPUs, but we can always play indies that aren’t pushing the graphics envelope.
