Re: PS5 Digital Edition Now More Expensive Than Switch 2 In UK & Europe

OldGamer999

Let’s look at this another way.
You are being forced to buy an handheld version of a console Switch 2 with no home console cheaper version for £400 for 3.1 tflops of power.

Why didn’t Nintendo also do a home Switch 2 version for say £250. So others just playing at home docked could enjoy Nintendo games with a cheaper console home model only.
They are no angels Nintendo they are a cut throat business.

At least the PS5 at £430 has 10.2 tflops of power.

Running 120fps really is a waste of resource and time would rather stick at 60fps
When playing games on all the console the jump from 30fps to 60fps is amazing so smooth and responsive but the 60fps to 120fps if you spot it the difference at all is minor, it’s to do with the human and how it works it can only do so much.
That’s with the series x and PS5 so the switch 2 will be no different.
I think Nintendo are doing this with MP4 and MKW just to stay trendy with Sony and Microsoft, total waste of time.

Still wish Nintendo had done a home switch 2 version for about £300 would have been a great entry into the switch 2 and Nintendo games just as a home console. It maybe even cheaper than £300.
I only play docked and feel I am paying extra for the handheld side of the Swtich 2 that I don’t require.
They could have easily done this with the switch 2 pro controller as it already exists.

Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price

Most consoles are reasonably priced.
Though the PS5 and series x should have had a price reduction by now and the PS5 Pro is a little steep but they deliberately stuck 2tb ssd in it so you pay £100 for another forced 1tb of ssd memory else the console would £600 or less instead of £700, smart ole Sony.

As for the switch games I got the MKW bundle so that’s good.
DKB at £57 digitally sounds ok to me.
Will be interesting when we get a new MARIO platform game and Splatoon 4 to see they get priced at.

But we pay £1000 for a top smart phone or £4.00 for a coffee that’s gone in minutes or £50 for a football or concert ticket and that’s the cheap seats that is finished in 2 hours.

So us gamers are not doing to bad price wise overall.

Re: Some Fans Are Drawing Unfavourable Comparisons Between Switch 2 And Xbox One

OldGamer999

Totally rubbish so much difference in what was said and definitely how and where it was said the situation.
Don said what he said right after a drubbing from Sony on how to share games and not having to be always online. That’s was funny and a middle finger to Xbox at the time.

Even to this day some want Xbox to fail, which they sort of have console wise.

What Doug said was about cost and alternatives to Nintendo games.

Anyway won’t make any difference to sales, not as much as this whole USA and Canada tariff business delaying preorders over there.

Re: Opinion: A Few Too Many Questions & Unwelcome Surprises Are Taking The Shine Off The Switch 2 Reveal

The only thing I would say and I know some say it takes away the Switch 2 ethos.

But just a home version could have been made
In the light of increasing prices.
At say a price of £300, cleverly putting under the PS5 digital.

I maybe think it might happen with the switch 2. The switch 2 home maybe.

I would have preordered that version instead of the Switch 2 that I have pre-ordered anyway, but if after a year or two sales are slower than Switch, which I think they will be at switch 2 home could inject sales.
