You have to pull back and view what is happening on a macro level. When Switch was revealed, everyone was glowing, gushing, head-over-heels in love with the thing, similar to Wii. It was the console you had to have, and you had to actually try and find negative press/opinions because it was so universally accepted. That is not so with Switch 2. All you're seeing is negative feedback. It's one bad thing after another... and that is never a good thing. As I've said before, Nintendo already had their hands full due to the Switch being a cross-over, culturally-important device because usually, the follow up to those consoles fail. And that was made even more dire by the fact that they pretty much just designed a Switch Pro and called it Switch 2 (too similar). Now, they've decided to stick a price-tag on the system and games that people are unhappy about and well... it's going to be interesting. |
That's not what I remember. The original Switch had a similar amount of backlash regarding it's price. $300 console with no-pack in, paid online, $50 tech demo, expensive accessories "underpowered hardware" many people predicted another Wii U from it. But as we know that didn't happen.
Switch 2 hands on impressions are very positive. People like the hardware and games, and even the price of the console is reasonable for what you're getting. The problem really is just some of the games, and the fact that Nintendo has really bungled their communication on that front.
