This is still very positive news for the long term viability of the Switch 2 because having a solid install base means third parties have more incentive to port games to the system.

If multiplatform games continue to be more expensive on Switch2 than on other systems, they'll probably not sell that well anyway. People usually buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games. 3rd parties need to earn their place.

Example Cyberpunk:

Switch2

PS5

PC/GOG

That's a problem with most ports. It's a "new" game on Switch, and many years old game on other platforms.

Proper comparison will be for the games that are released together on Switch and other consoles.

Everything is more expensive on switch

And very rare are good sales

For digital indie games sold on the e-shop it often tends to be the other way around. During sales the price is knocked down more on Switch than on Playstation and Xbox.
