This is the exact stupid type of comment that’s been infuriating to hear during all this “boycott nintendo!” bullshit. The Switch came out 10 years ago and cost $300. Inflation has skyrocketed. When you compare the price of the S2, adjusted for inflation, it’s not even the most or second most expensive console nintendo has sold.
I genuinely can’t believe these fucking complaints. They basically mashed a Wii and a Nintendo DS together, vastly improved the graphics and basically the quality overall in its entirety, and only charge $450. That’s the price of one single concert ticket. That’s half the price of a decent smartTV that won’t last half as long. And my Switch is still going 10 years later with heavy use, I anticipate the S2 to do the same.
It’s just crazy. The Switch 2 is one of the only quality products on the fucking market that’s not been completely enshittified sold my a major corporation, and yalls are still bitching and whining. Drives me fucking insane the things this generation gets mad at and boycotts while giving free fucking passes to the likes of microsoft, sony, etc.
Not being enshittified? Game carts that are just game keys that we don’t own? Ad software being sold as an “experience”? Still using sticks that drift when the last console suffered from the same issue?
