I can have fun with the original Switch, my computer, my phone, myself...lots of options! Lmao
I can have fun playing Tic Tac Toe in the dirt. Not sure what you’re getting at.
That’s all well and good, but if people want a switch 2 that’s fine too. More exclusives will come out for it as they support it for the next 6-10 years
Of course. I do expect the price to drop significantly over time though.
I'm not seeing what makes it worth that much money to have on launch day.
I don’t expect it to drop much if at all; the OG switch is still at its launch MSRP. Same thing with the games, they never put them on sale. Maddening for sure, but that’s Nintendo.
Used consoles have been cheaper though. And with such a high launch price, I could see it having "room" to drop. Tariff fears and such may have been priced in.
