Why don't you people pressure Nintendo to stop ripping them off? I'm soooooo curious.

1: They're $300
2: I wrote them a sternly worded letter on behalf of us people but have not heard back

Sega holding this kind of grudge after decades out of the hardware biz, very weird stuff.

I've been writing letters to Miyamoto-san every day about it, I don't know what else you want me to do.

Seriously at this point wouldn't it be cheaper to switch to an android based device rather than continue to prop up a cottage industry of circa 1976 chips?

Other console prices are going or have gone up, so the Switch is comparatively cheaper - that's a win, right?

at least with the Switch OLED, standard Switch came down to $270. Sony, hurry up and release some new PS5 variant. It's STILL $500. At this juncture in the lifespan of the PS4 I got a slim during black friday for $150.

The question should be, what have you done about it?

In a one to one comparison you have to account for the PS5 existing as mythological allegory for that first year.

PS5 controller prices have just gone up in Australia today.

Shadowfire · September 9

Yeah but those are Aussie bucks, not real freedom eagles.

Look, when you take inflation into account really that 300$ is like 20% cheaper than 5 years ago.

I allow Nintendo to sell me older technology because it plays fun games. We were talking about this last night actually. I recently bought a Kindle Paperwhite, and it's wonderful to have a piece of technology that does one thing incredibly well and that's it. It lets me read books and it does it in a simple, clean way. I love my phone, but I sometimes miss having an iPod that solely does music and doesn't distract me with the world/games/social media every time I unlock it. I miss having a standalone camera sometimes that doesn't share battery/storage with the rest of my life.

The Switch falls into the "it works" category. I rarely boot it up to have to do massive updates, the interface doesn't blast me with ads. It does games, does it well, and at a price I was fine with. I am honestly just now starting to wish it had a little more oomph under the hood when I see how Powerwash Sim looks on my Xbox vs the Switch and I do hope the next iteration gets a bunch of patches for better performance.
