Sorry, they can’t hear you over the slurping sounds of the Nintendo Defense Squad. I guess raising the price of accessories didn’t bring in enough dough. After all, if the base console price is still too expensive, and the games are being priced upwards of $80 dollars, who the fuck would want to spend more on accessories? I say this as someone who bought the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at launch. Aside from Legends Z-A, Kirby Air Riders and Forgotten Land + Star Crossed Worlds, I haven’t put much time into other games on the system. I’ve been playing my Steam Deck more often. I’m thankful I got the Switch 2 at it’s “lowest price”. I’ve also decided to buy physical games because I can at least resell the games for credit towards another. I’m able to play any game I want on my Deck, and I find it’s openness as a console-PC hybrid MUCH more appealing than the Switch 2. PC ports of Nintendo games are on the rise and I can’t wait for more!

Is the Switch 2 really fumbled? I swear I just read the other day that they’ve sold more than predicted.

Yeah there’s fewer games to port now than with the wiiu -> switch so they actually have to make new games, and that takes forever. Hd ports only do so much. But somehow it is actually selling really well. I don’t mind owning one but I wish there was more to play.

Switch 2 game prices seem to be going down, not up. Especially digital versions. We’ll see if that trend keeps up when more tentpole games come out though.
