Nintendo is probably "seriously considering" a Switch 2 price increase in the US, but former marketing leads "very hopeful" that it will ultimately "eat the cost" (www.gamesradar.com)

So much fixation with the console price, but I'd rather have a more expensive console and games that actually get cheaper over time like Sony consoles where if you are patient enough can get up to 3-6 first party exclusives for the price of 1 full priced game. Game costs easily surpass the price of the console for avid gamers who like playing through multiple titles a year.

Unless you really, really feel the need to play the Nintendo exclusives, a Steam Deck is a way better deal. It even has an OLED, more storage and can be upgraded via standard SD cards.

And in terms of games: the only '80' you're gonna see is the discount percentage during the constant sales.

There's usually a dip around Black Friday but yeah PS5 is a way better value overall if you are patient.
