But then they won’t tell you that switch 2 uses the same type of capacitive analog sticks cursed with stick drift instead up updating to Hall effect sticks. Or that you really really don’t own the games because the games are actually just download keys.
Edit to add: Pro controllers also cost more than last gen and they’re lower craftsmanship and aren’t repair friendly because they weld plastic instead of using screws
I’m not implying there aren’t any improvements this time around I just feel like the improvements and corner cutting cancel each other out but that’s just my opinion
Existing switch owners can use any wireless controllers they already have with the switch 2. The pro controller 2 does have much nicer joysticks IMO, but you don’t need one unless you really want the dedicated button for GameChat or the grip buttons

Switch 1 in 2017

I mean, historically it seems pretty in-line with Nintendo releases, adjusted for inflation:
It’s only ~$50 more than the Switch 1, and they just raised the price of the Switch 1 by $50.
With each gen we got some advancements. Now they’re cutting corners for share holders
I mean, to pretend the Switch 2 is identical to the Switch 1 is pretty ridiculous.
I’m not implying there aren’t any improvements this time around I just feel like the improvements and corner cutting cancel each other out but that’s just my opinion
That’s fine, all I’m saying is it’s not like it’s significantly more expensive or out of line price-wise historically.
More to the point, the article wasn’t talking about launch prices of consoles at all.
Shhh the sweaty neck beards are venting.
It’s the part where the Switch 1 hasn’t gone down in price that the article is talking about.
Which is not what the person I replied to was taking about…
If you want to complain about other unrelated things, go ahead. But the price is pretty reasonable compared to everything else on the market.
