Nintendo gets greedy again.
They're thrusting themselves back into directly competing with Sony and MS with those prices. Bold move in this economy, but they'll probably do fine. I don't expect nearly as many Switch 2s sold compared to the original, though.
Got my sream deck. I am fine without a switch.
Nothing lost and if I'd need it, emulation works good enough.
I was waiting for confirmation of the price to get a Steam Deck as well. Nintendo was fine as a cheaper side console, but I don't need 2 $500-ish walled garden consoles.
If you think steam deck is walled garden, I have news for you!
I don't! The other walled garden I'm referring to is a PS5. The Steam Deck will be the replacement side console for the Switch.
