We all know SNY wanted to charge more for PS5 at launch, but didn't. They also were breaking even within like 6 months of launch.

SW2 wouldn't have required inferior hardware for a $399 launch.

The switch was breaking even at launch. It costs $390 adjusted to today. Basically everything on switch 2 is proportionately better and more expensive. They are probably getting some profit at $450 but they couldn't get 399 without losing money. Facts are fatcs.

SW2 has things that SW1 didn't, like DLSS, which allows Nin to use weaker hardware while getting more performance, saving on cost.

Probably=Facts? I'm not good at math but even I know that doesn't add up.
