It's easy to get caught up to that loud vocal minority of Twitter trolls making the Switch 2 seem like it's gonna be off to a rougher start thanks to prices, when in reality the general consumer will pay nearly anything to get the newest Mario Kart, the 3rd bestselling game in history without a single price cut in 8 years. I mean with how much the Steam Deck is talked about and compared to Switch on the internet, you'd think Steam Deck was actually a legit competitor to Switch. When in reality the comparisons is 150M+ vs 4M, the internet really brings out a vocal minority that shouldn't be representative at all of what the general population thinks I don't think price will have any significant impact on Switch 2's success. People were still buying the Switch Oled in droves at 350$, 100$ less than Switch 2 but inflation comes in, plus Nintendo always has the luxury to drop the price to 400$ whenever. |
I agree. 499$ seemed high for the PS5, but it's neck in neck with the PS4. Switch 2 should do fine and the price shouldn't be a problem. They can further drop the price after 2 or 3 years to 349 or 399$ at least with Lite model at 299$ and OLED for 499/449$.
