I just realized the OLED cost more than the Series S. No reason why the Switch 2 won't be at least $400.

Nintendo really really dislikes loss-leader hardware.

I'd be shocked if they were even capable of doing that

I'm old enough to remember that the mini DVD literally made everything strong about the system pointless.

By the time the reduced capacity became a "problem", PS2 was already running away with the generation.

Faster loading times and a 1.46GB capacity. Nothing horribly wrong with that. Kind of annoying to have Tales of Symphonia on two discs though, I'll admit.

Nintendo is just lazy with game development because they found a gimmick that sells like the Wii and Switch. They bring in the most money by being cheap. Their brand and franchises sell themselves.

Xbox still stomped over the Gamecube when it came to power though and they came out in the same year. PS2 launched a year and a half earlier. Gamecube mostly lasted better because PS2 was the lead platform anyway.

But yeah I'd be surprised. They have always been about leveraging cheaper tech at the very least.

The most powerful consoles rarely win their generations

Higher costs scare off potential buyers, and power junkies will just game on PC anyway

I personally would be, Nintendo doesn't have the power or resources to make a console cheap like Microsoft or Sony. It would be a severe losing battle.

This is me, kinda. Different platforms have their place. I rather have a gaming PC for playing Planet Coaster, Civilization VI, and other grand strategy games. Then I have my Switch for casual gaming, especially local multiplayer. Better that way instead of trying to own a console that tries to do everything like the Xbox series X.
