I actually have little issue with the console price... I would have actually been happy to have paid more... I.E. An extra $50 or $100 for an OLED panel.

The game prices are garbage, considering the mess of standards.
I.E.
* Some carts don't contain the game, just a license key to a download.
* Some carts are just the Switch 1 version with a Switch 2 update code.
* Some carts will only contain part of the game, with the other part being a download.

I'll only be buying games that actually contain the game on the physical media in it's entirety... And due to price, only games that are exclusive to the console.

The console hardware price is likely fixed... With a little bit of room to move to account for fluctuation in commodity component prices like NAND and RAM. - And with the Americans and their stupid game of Tariffs, the price is likely to increase for that region, with the rest of the world having a lower price for the short term.

However... Nintendo does have room to maneuver with revisions.

They could release a 5" or 6" variant at a lower price that is mobile only.
They could release a Switch 2 TV which has zero mobile functionality at a significantly lower price.
They could release an 8" OLED variant at a higher price.

This would have actually been the ideal tactic of releasing multiple variants for multiple price points right out of the gate... Which is something Microsoft did extremely well with the Series S and Series X launching in tandem.

Whilst I agree an OLED be nice as visually it's better, however I am not too concerned personally as I found them especially with my smart phones (post 2017) to get worst screen burn than my pre 2017 smart phone OLED screens and LCD panel monitors which are 20 years old. Not sure if it's due to how they make them now, or I just been unlucky with all my new phones. But because of this experience, I haven't been wanting to get an OLED switch, just in case I get bad screen burn on it.

As for the bolded, where is the evidence to support this? I see a lot of people say this but I have not read anything from Nintendo that states that. I have read what is written on the Nintendo Switch 2 editions, and the language used to me implies its on a new red switch 2 cart with the extra content on it. If those words imply what you written in bold, then the ENGLISH needs to be clarified to say as such. Contains Switch 1 gam cart with download code and be more explicit in the text.

There is no download codes. Its all on the cart.
