Ohhhhh, you mean, like all console manufacturers, there will eventually be another, more powerful system? Come on, man, you literally know that's not the point, here lol In fact, let me change the frame of reference: the PS4 Slim released at the same price as the base PS4, the Xbox One S released at the same price as the base Xbox One. If Nintendo was going to do a redesign/refresh, they could have simply replaced the normal Switch (or dropped the normal switch to $250 to slot this one at $300). Instead, Nintendo fans have to defend this by saying, "well, it's got an OLED screen and it's for people who don't already own a Switch" in which a PSVita had an OLED 10 years ago so it's not "expensive" screen technology, it's 720p, and it's using hardware released in 2015. The absolute MINIMUM logical choice was to price it as a replacement for the base Switch which would clearly follow in line with redesigns that have happened to other consoles as well. You don't charge more if you aren't upgrading the core components that were already made in 2015 (two years prior to the release of the Switch itself), that's just pure greed and taking advantage of fan blind loyalty. |
Well I agree with you on the price. I dont see how this is worth 50 bucks more 4 years after the original launched. Thats just greed. Im not really surprised though. Nintendo has been very greedy this gen. I guess that comes with having a successful console with them.
