I mean, it is kinda expensive, but that would be more tollerable for everyone if wages weren’t stagnating to fund yachts.

The Switch 2 is not expensive.
The people that think this are getting screwed by their jobs but they don’t want to think about their wage stagnating while their boss buys extra boats and houses.

It’s not that expensive. It’s similar in price to PS5 before it got a price increase, and trades raw performance for portability.
The real expensive part is new price point for first party games and prices of SD Express cards.

It’s not any more expensive than any other electronics.
It’s a brand new tablet with okay battery life, pretty good performance and some low quality Bluetooth controllers included. Nothing else on the market is comparable. It’s basically a portable PS4 for $500 which is nice.
I recently built a PC. I bought RAM for $190. A week later it was $300. Now it’s over $400. Somehow, a Switch 2 is crazy overpriced at $500. People upset at the Switch 2 price are mouth breathers.

its actually more expensive if you include all the fees with online play, subscription that is required, even moreso with things like pokemon, also DLCs.

Online play on the Switch is $20 a year. The fact that they charge for online play and save backups is bullshit but not anywhere as bad as people pretend.
Isn’t Pokémon like a regular game you only need to buy once?
