  What would be an open platform for consoles?

  That’s not what I’ve heard, people on Reddit have been praising its performance saying it’s close to PS5 performance; but even then, a PS4 Pro level performance for a handheld is pretty good in my books.

  I genuinely believe the switch 2 is the best bang for your buck, especially now with the way things are looking with hardware price increases. The performance is very close to PS5 (I’ve heard ranges between PS4 Pro and PS5) whilst having the capability to output to 4K when docked. For $629.96 CAD (or $699.96 CAD for the bundle), you absolutely cannot beat that price.

  I’m not glazing Nintendo. Xbox Series S is $449.96 CAD including a controller and 512gb SSD, but you’d be sacrificing a lot of performance (it’s funny when they say it can go “up to 120fps” when I know from experience it absolutely does not). PlayStation 5 is $749.96 CAD for the digital edition. Looking at my options knowing what kind of performance the Switch 2 has, I would rather pay the $629.96 CAD because it has one feature that cannot be beat; it can be played handheld or docked. If you want an Xbox handheld, you’d have to look into handheld PC’s like the ASUS ROG Ally or the Steam deck. If you want a PS5 handheld you’d need a PS5 and a $319.96 CAD PlayStation Portal. For me, the price to performance of the Switch 2, and the features that come with it, is why I prefer the Switch 2.

  I’m assuming this also applies to Consoles as well: Sony removed purchased movies from people’s Sony Pictures Core app. I wonder if, or when, they’ll decide to do the same to games.

  If it does come to that: what are our options as console gamers (other than piracy)? Buying physical discs?
