That’s right, for hardware that’s now eight years old and never got a price discount. It currently sells for C$400 – but they’re about to jack the price.

There are Android tablets that are much cheaper than the Switch, more powerful, more battery efficient. Also, play games better.

Yet, Nintendo is jacking the price.

    Wrong-o. Android has Genshin Impact, GRID Autosport, Pascal’s Wager, Sky: Children of the Light, The Banner Saga Trilogy.

    And they outperform the Switch with hardware that’s less expensive.

      Android has Genshin Impact, GRID Autosport, Pascal’s Wager, Sky: Children of the Light, The Banner Saga Trilogy.

      …So basically mediocre Android games and rare ports of older games. Nobody is buying a handheld console to play these.

        Buddy, you’re completely out of touch with reality.

        The Android gaming market is leagues larger than Nintendo’s—and it’s not even close.

        Better games, better hardware than the original Switch. Other than first party titles, there’s no reason nowadays to buy an eight-year-old Switch.
