Nintendo Switch 2 Thread

[Nintex]

You guys need to understand that you're not the target market for the Switch...you're barely 10% of the target market for the PlayStation. 

Nobody outside of super enthusiasts gives a shit about specs or assigns value to imaginary numbers like TFLOPS and ram and shit like that. 

It's why Sony gets away with bullshit spec sheets that don't mean shit in real world application.

If Nintendo can get the kind of broad third party support they seem to have right now on an ongoing basis, and they put out a stream of good first party games, it will sell just as well as Switch 1. 

My daughter is watching the Direct right now. She doesn't give a shit about specs at all. She's only interested in if the games look fun and she can play fucking Fortnite. 

They've definitely got those locked down. She's excited about Mario Kart and other games already.

I dunno, I think the pricing is too high for an impulse gift buy. Especially in this economy. 

Let's say you want to buy it for your daughter, that's a $500 Switch 2, $80 Mario Kart, $90 second set of controllers. That's a $700 investment for just Mario Kart and doesn't yet include the online subscription and camera. The full set will set you back $800. 

And then Switch games you might've missed aren't $40 either, they're charging $75 for BOTW. 

Part of why Nintendo is succesful is affordability. They've thrown that out of the window.
To me it signals they expect to sell less and have thus increased prices for folks that do buy it. 

So I expect it'll sell out instantly at launch but then demand quickly softens or it'll be a 'premium' product next to the original Switch.
