The combination of expensive hardware AND expensive games kills the switch 2 for me.

80 Dollar just to play Mario Kart?

Even older switch titles are barely ever on sale.

I never buy games at full price so the economics don't add up for me. I guess it works for the kind of person that buys games on release. If someone has that much money to burn they don't need to care about hardware cost either I guess.

Always has been:

It's also the best game in its category (which Nintendo basically invented), offers terrific local multiplayer on a single console, and is something you can enjoy for years with friends and family.

Yeah Nintendo basically doesn’t even acknowledge the concept of marking things down, even many years after their release. And as the physical media window begins closing, even buying a used game will become not a thing anymore. Probably the Switch 3 or whatever they call it will not have a card slot anymore. And used consoles might lose all their games when signed out of an account. I’m sure they’d love that.
