Why would they make a dedicated home console when the Switch has been far more successful than any home console they've ever made, and especially more so than any of their power-competitive consoles? That doesn't make it any less illogical to hold a hybrid/portable system to dedicated console standards when the two are fundamentally different. The hybrid form factor is the best path forward for them in terms of remaining successful, and within that form factor the Switch 2 is about as capable as one can reasonably ask for. |
I know all this. I understand why they left the home console market. I understand why they basically released Switch Pro instead of something entirely brand new. I get it. But how does that change anything for a gamer? We're (as in Nintendo fans) still stuck with either owning one system that can't play certain games, or plays them worse, or spending over a thousand dollars to own both. We're still left with having to pay PS5 prices on a system with PS4 Pro specs, which sucks. And to make matters worse, they're gouging us (eighty dollars for something like Mario Kart? ridiculous).
It all stinks, imo. All of it.
