Besides Switch 1, which past Nintendo system does Switch 2 feel the most like to you, and why?

Consoles are supposed to be cheaper than PC rigs, and they aren't in the long run.  Pay $650 for a ps5, 5 years of PSN is $480..  $1130.  I can build a solid PC rig for $1400, one that would bury the ps5 and outperform the Pro by a bit.

The biggest issue with the ps5 price hike, the tech is old.  Paying $650 for a GPU that is 2018 technology is crazy to me.  I think PC is a better deal, in the long run, than Playstation.  PC is suppose to offer a superior experience, not a superior and cheaper experience.  

Technically, PC that is at PS5 Pro level (slightly above actually) is around $1050, if you go with AM4 and 9060XT 16GB (there is a matter of OS though). So it's still more expensive than PS5 Pro. That said, with the subscription fees for PSN and massive discounts Steam has, PC is quite a bit better value for money.

That said, PC is not quite console experience and Sony exclusives are, apparently, going back to being PS only (well that and GTAVI, at least timed). But yeah, hiking prices up will most likely loose them some additional customers to PC ecosystem.

Fair, I was using Nvidia, AMD has better pricing.  

I think the increased price, personal opinion, is quickly offset by having to pay for online.  

PC does require a bit more maintenance and troubleshooting, though the gap has narrowed a lot.  And I think console exclusives were a huge deal, but now that games take 5-8 years..  To each their own, I spent 30 years exclusive to consoles, jumped to PC 3 years ago..  not sure I will ever go back to consoles (except Nintendo because Mario, Zelda, Metroid).
