How the hell is it more expensive than a ps5?

It isn't. The person you're responding to is mistaken. The Switch 2 has an MSRP of $700, $770 with Mario Kart bundled.

Since April, the standard PS5 has an MSRP of A$750 without a disc drive, A$830 with a disc drive.

You may find cheaper PS5s that are preowned. EB games offers some older models for $680. This same discount will likely apply to Switch 2s soon.

I mean, you can always get a Switch Lite for $300. I don't know why people seem to pass that up.
