Talking Point Will You Be Getting A Switch 2 Before The Price Goes Up?

FOPI gonna get ya?
Well, there it is. Last month, I wrote about how two things were making me recommend Switch 2 to family and friends despite the hefty price tag and the lack of a truly killer 'OMG I need one to play this life-changing video game' to call its own: the convenience of GameChat versus scratchy speakerphone while visiting my mum's
