    1. And water is wet.

      But seriously, we are currently living through the first gaming generation in which consoles are technically appreciating. With the Switch 1, Xbox, and PS5 prices increased already, it’s only a matter of time before the Switch 2 goes up. That’s pretty much why I bought one instead of waiting for the OLED variant down the line.

    2. Not surprised if it happens. More of a question of how big of a increase it’s going to be.

    3. Who could have thought. not like pretty much everything was getting more expensive, because of ram.

    4. Man unless they can pack in a few digital games to make the purchase not feel like too much… this feels like nail in the coffin

    5. Yeah even tho the game catalog wasn’t super interesting to me yet I got one. Cuz you never know in this situation

    6. It’s actually quite logical: inflation, supply chains, rising production costs – the only new thing is that consoles now reflect this as well. That was unthinkable before.

    7. This is exactly why I bought one at launch. I knew I would want one down the line and everything happening in the industry and the world points to a price increase.

    8. I’ve never been so happy to be an early adopter with both my PC hardware and switch 2. Who would’ve guessed my bad financial irresponsibility would whip right back around to financial responsibility

      everything around nintendo feels some awful lately. it’s almost like being an Xbox fan

    10. Honestly I think Nintendo needs to bring out the Switch 2 Lite as a cheaper alternative as soon as possible otherwise a LOT of people are going to be priced out ESPECIALLY younger gamers…

      I hate AI so much

      Between all the chips going towards AI and a falling dollar, I’d be surprised if it didn’t.
