| PAOerfulone said: Only issue I see with that is Nintendo is pretty stubborn when it comes to price cuts. If they weren't willing to give the Wii U or any of the 3DS models that treatment after the Switch came out, I doubt they'd do it for the Switch once Switch 2 is out. Assuming Switch 2 is somewhere between the PS4/Xbox One and PS5/Xbox Series in terms of specs and hardware, that's $350/400 right there assuming they stick w/ LCD screens. With OLED, you can tack on another $50 which would bring it up to possibly $450. So the Switch 1 would be cheaper by default. Another factor to consider is if the Switch 2 is fully backwards compatible. If so, that just might be enough to convince people to jump to Switch 2 instead of settling for a cheaper Switch 1 to hold them over until the time and money is right again to THEN jump onto Switch 2. The lack of backwards compatibility "and not being a traditional successor" is part of why the 3DS was able to have some respectable legs, or at least much stronger than the DS, in spite of the Switch's release and instant success. |
Nintedno killed the DS to help people move on to the 3DS.
