    The pricing of this is really going to fuck them.

    BotW should be like $10 by now. The fucking DLC for it still costs twice that.

      Switch 2 is going to be a repeat of the Wii U disaster.

      “No Timmy, I’m not paying 500 dollars for Mario Kart. Don’t you already have that game?”

        I wish it wasn’t true, because the wii u had some great games and ideas, and the switch 2 definitely will as well.

        But yeah, a HUGE portion of Nintendo’s sales come from being the budget, kid friendly option. When a parent sees a ps5, xbox and switch 2 all lined up for roughly the same price, Nintendo isn’t going to be the default choice it once was.

        And it kinda sucks because all people do is hate on the switch for its lower performance. The only way to get better performance is to put more expensive parts in leading to a higher price. They can’t win in some ways.
