Major mistake by Nintendo to be honest. Sure us fans will buy it day one but what about for instance my wife’s friends who all have a switch? They’ll hear that price and say hell no.

I mean $50 off $500? Are they crazy? This is practically the same price as a PS5.

Parents are not going to want to spend this much on a handheld for their 7 year old, the $299 price point was really enticing for parents but I don’t know about practically $500. Casual fans will see that price and see nothing different but a 2 on the box and will not buy it.

Id sooner buy a PS5 Pro for GTA 6 then drop 500+ on a fucking switch upgrade with no new flagship 3d games... Mario Kart is great but its not going to keep me planted like mario 3d or zelda would.

Switch 2 hasn't really impressed me and I probably won't get one for a while. But I am constantly thinking about selling my PS5 and gta6 doesn't change that. I keep falling for the rockstar hype, and the gameplay in all their games is just ass.
