| thismeintiel said: Considering Sony was losing a couple hundred dollars per unit, that's not exactly the same thing. Still, that price was too damn high and was mostly Sony's fault for having such expensive HW. But guess what? Sony learned from that mistake and thus we have the PS4. Looking at the Switch, what exactly has Nintendo learned? I'd say absolutely nothing. In fact, I'd say they've gotten worse. |
I could be getting this info wrong, but I heard that the reason the PS3 was so expensive was that it had a blueray in it when bluerays were expensive to manufacture. For its price, the power WAS not that great (assuming this is true). It's kind of an inequivalent comparison due to the fact that the Switch isn't being upped in price dramatically over highly expensive hardware that is irrelevant to gaming for the consumer. (Bluerays may have had more storage for that time, but it's not what people look at when purchasing consoles).
