But the Switch OLED screen is 7", while Switch 2 screen is 7,85". That shouldn't make a lot of difference. I've seen regular Switch vs OLED Switch screen size and it's also not a big difference :OOops! I actually meant the size: I almost got blind playing in handheld mode...
I own the first Switch, so between it and Switch 2 there is a bit of difference
It was $299.99, $150 less less than the Switch 2, and games were $60. Also, $95 for a controller is absolutely insane. If you're a parent with more than one kid, that's a lot of money. You're looking at over $600 for the system, an extra controller, and one game.
I agree with you that it's too much, at least for me, but I can't speak to anyone else's financial situations. The systems have sold, so apparently not everyone else thinks so. A new console launch is always going to sell through immediately, and if it ends up being widely panned or something, they could go the route they did with 3DS and drop the price with some kind of free downloads as a make good to early adopters. But for right now, they're getting away with it because they can, and we all know this. So you vote with your wallet, that's all you can do. Because Nintendo is not beholden to the consumers to provide a low price if the market shows they don't have to, sadly.
I always think this comparison is biased. In the 90's the amount of players and sales were way lower than now, so they were kind of forced to put those prices because it was not mainstream, otherwise they would have lost a lot of money, as the sales were way inferior than now. Games started to get mainstream when PS2 era, and at that time games were cheaper than in previous generations.But the reaction to $80 like it's some new thing... there were $79 SNES games. $99 MSRP games on the Genesis, and that's 1990s money. They'll only try it if they think they can get it. I don't know what else to say. I'm not buying one, that's all I can do.
You haven't taken inflation into account. Also the number of players and inferior sales doesn't remove the fact the prices were higher.
Yes, but again, why games went down in price in the 2000's, if inflation was also present? because of sales. More sales = price per sale is cheaper.
Games that were more expensive back then generally were that way due to the manufacturing costs requiring more physical materials in those cases. Install base had nothing to do with it.
Materials? what material was required to charge you 60€ for a PS1 game? don't tell me CD's were very expensive, because they weren't.
Cartridges that required add-ons would run at a higher cost. You knew what I meant.
CDs were still a fairly new technology and Sony had to sell PSX for a lesser price but compensated on the games, it's simple.
Isn't there a Super Gay Animals RPG? because I had 2 gay rabites at home :3
In fact, this is no excuse. All electronics have become more expensive since 2017 for this and other reasons (e.g. turmoil in the semiconductor market, China - USA tarifs war, rising transport costs).
That is why I wrote about ‘other reasons’, because there are many.
Yes, but it was only in March this year that the first such battery suitable for smartphones was shown, and it's expensive.
It's a typical Nintendo launch strategy. The launch line-up for each of their consoles was one - two major big title from them and a few smaller ones usually from third party developers.1 game? nah wake me up when they add more games.
I think Zelda BotW was bigger but it's true.
At least you've now revealed your true self. It was always the fact that you can't have one and are bitter towards others who do. You're using the anti-piracy topic as your high horse to justify your behavior.
