Difference between Microsoft/Sony and Nintendo is... Microsoft/Sony games get discounted pretty rapidly. Nintendo games don't. |
Which makes it so much worse. I love to go "I would like too play this,... but not at that price. I'll wait for a bargin/sale".
With nintendo that won't happend. Which is why their higher price point, is so much more off putting to me.
I have a Switch, and games for it. I was hoping I could get like a 399$ Switch 2, and be happy. Things would just work, I'd put a Switch 1 cartridge into it, and just play it again if I wanted. They would run and look better ect. Nope.... I need to pay for upgrade packs ect. And Switch is 50-100$ more expensive than I thought it would be. Then new Nintendo games are 80-90$ ontop? .... No. Mario Kart World isn't doing it for me. |
I will own a Switch 2 on launch day... Already pre-ordered.
But the amount of money I invest in the platform over the long term is likely to be significantly reduced... I.E. I'll just buy Nintendo developed exclusives and that's all.
I have several hundred Switch games, because many games were well-priced in my eyes, hence the additional purchases.
I think this generation will be the perfect excuse to have cheaper SKU's to sell to gamers... Switch 2 Lite and a Switch TV would make sense.
