I don’t have any faith in Bloomberg analysts, specially when it comes to Nintendo / Switch.
gonna need to be higher priced so they can keep funding lawsuits.
That’s where the game pricing comes in.
I’ll probably wait to see if there’s a Switch 2 Lite (or whatever) for $300. Maybe it’ll include a game too.
Why would you give money to Nintendo?
They sell the hardware at a loss andinitial adopters are more likely to be able to find an exploit that allows the console to play pirated games. If a Lite comes out early enough, there’s hope that it might be exploitable.It’s my understanding that the Steam Deck is not performant when it comes to running Switch games via Yuzu/Ryujinx so it would probably be even worse with Switch 2 games, which are probably more taxing to emulate.
All that said, I have a Switch Lite that I share with my wife and I like it. There are so many companies you’re “not allowed” to buy from according to Lemmy lol, I don’t have the time for that. Almost all publishers are ass, should I never buy a game again?
Edit: As pointed out, Nintendo consoles are not sold at a loss.
Because they want to play games and have fun
You can do that without giving money to Nintendo.
I would expect 800-1000 after the bot boys and scalping. And then people complain about it while in the way to go buy one from a scalper for $900
Hopefully, I won’t have to get the console for several months - if not years. Nintendo’s launch titles usually aren’t anything to write home about. BotW was a notable exception in recent memory, but was also available on the previous generation.
You won’t “have to”? No one is making you buy the damn thing in the first place. Imo everyone should wait to buy it until it’s cheaper.
Well, no, once a Monster Hunter game releases on the S2, my partner makes me buy one.
I could get something else, assuming cross play exists, but the only exclusives across all platforms I care about are games made by Monolith. So, at some point I’ll need the S2.
My expectation is between $400 and $500, but either way I’m preordering as soon as it’s available.
