My problem is doni have time for new games, we have a switch for my daughter and we barely play it. I like Nintendo games but I have a hard enough time completing any game. I think there’s one or two games in my entire Xbox collection I’ve actually completed.
My problem is only having maybe an hour or two late evening I’ll play something for a week, try something else because I get tired of playing the same thing then forget what I was doing in the other game and want to start over.
If I was going to get a handheld I think I’d much prefer the new Asus rog that Xbox worked on

I’m a Nintendo fan (of their games, not their business practices), have owned all of their consoles (even a Virtual Boy) and I don’t plan to go anywhere near a Switch 2 unless Nintendo gets humbled again. They’re at “Sony at PS3 launch” and “Microsoft at Xbox One launch” levels of arrogance currently. The PS3 eventually came down to a reasonable price, but the 360 was my first and last Microsoft console.

I’m an Australian so I’m not 100% sure on what you’re paying for other consoles at the moment, but the switch 2 hardware is cheaper than the base disc PS5 slim and Xbox series X over here. Don’t even get me started on PC hardware.
Xbox raising their prices to $80 isn’t a good sign. Sony increased the price of the PS5 over here recently even though it won’t be subject to any tariffs, to subsidise their losses in the US.
All that is to say that Nintendo aren’t being so anti-competitive relative to the industry that I think they’re going to be forced to drop prices

There’s no precedent for Nintendo having a lower-powered console priced similarly to the competition. They’re asking people to pay close to the same price for a console that’s significantly weaker. Maybe portability is so popular that people will go for it. We’ll see how it does after the diehards all get theirs and the normies decide whether or not to buy.
