@Yosher @AllBLK "A lot of people are okay with codes in a box instead of game key cards when both are bad" I struggle to understand how anyone would be okay with code in the box but not a game key card.

At that point, why not just avoid both and buy digital from eshop or a place like Loaded instead?

@Altaria_97 I have a decently powerful PC but do over 90% of my gaming on my Switch. I already work on a PC all day so it's a mental break if I use the Switch instead of sitting at my desk and gaming there. Plus, I can't lug my PC with me everywhere. The Fractal Design R6 case alone is already 12.4 kgs!

@johnedwin huh? Your 3 comments were a tad confusing

Really interested in seeing whether Konami can return to form with the Switch 2 exclusive version of eFootball. I don't hold much hope but I'm pleased it's getting released all the same. Was a really pleasant surprise to see more games announced with gameshare capability - especially Orbital and Bomberman. Oh man, bomberman feels like it has the best gameshare capability at the moment - sharing with up to 3 other players is great!

Pragmata and Turok both look very appealing and Turok might scratch the first/third shooter itch for Switch 2 owners. Really nice to see Indy get a release and on a fully physical card too - lookingforward to FF7 Rebirth in the middle of the year.

Untrue. Price increases are not binary things which are inherently bad or always justifiable. Video games aren't grocery items. There's a value tradeoff for some things that you have viewed as offering reduced value and that's understandable.

There's an arguement that the raised prices of games are due to increased workloads and time etc needed to get games at a higher fidelity - it's no secret that the video game industry has struggled with rising costs of game development for over a decade now.

Though the game vouchers programme has ended, I envision something else will take its place even if it's not a 1 to 1 copy of that offering. I didn't get any/much value from them myself and viewed them as being more expensive than buying during an eshop sale or a retailer sale.

I want to be clear that I'm not saying you shouldn't be unhappy.

I'm just challenging the framing of the reasons for unhappiness. Happy gaming on whatever platform you choose.

@darylb24 spoken like a politician.... This view also attempts to frame business choices as either anti consumer or pro consumer. It's only black and white and no shades of grey. It also attempts to very narrowly define what isn't 'pro consumer'.

@LazyDaisy it was already reported here that old tech was getting more expensive, not cheaper

@MeloMan a small part of the reason it is successful is that there's enough stock for those who want one.

@Porky banning is not remotely close to bricking.

@OmnitronVariant are you genuinely looking for an explanation of why they say estimated? Or are you looking for ways to disprove the chart?

@OmnitronVariant sell through numbers aren't estimates

@KociolekDoSyta oh that version launched at about £42.99 in the UK at everywhere else but Nintendo so it's dropped about £10 since then.

@Theghostofkeithmoon9 mp4 switch 2 has never been £31.50 here. Lowest was just over £36

@WiltonRoots and fell off a cliff. And the trend is undeniable

@ZionWario there's been much talk that none of those 'games' contain any nudity

@JohnnyMind there are also lots of equally confused people wondering why there are several still claiming that this is Nintendo's fault

@FeRDNYC how is adhoc's statement more believable than Nintendo's?

@Craigsouthern some of us couldn't care less about grinding and want an in between option

@atepa I completed 100% and even did several forbidden difficulty missions. 95 hours pumped into the game and had a grand time throughout. Will look to come back if there's paid dlc or, less likely, another batch of free content

@Dr_Lugae case in point, I've seen the Switch 1 played outside by others maybe less than a dozen times since it launched in the UK.... 🙈 Clearly a 'crap console whose sales fell off a cliff right after launch' 😂

What we see around us can often be a poor indicator of actual sales

@GamingGod You've ignored the earlier point. None have oled at a minimum of 120hz plus VRR. Plus continuing to ignore that even premium experiences don't have it. The reality is that it's not on the cards for handheld gaming yet at a reasonable price.

@WiltonRoots 😁 perhaps he belongs more in the Playstation site

@GamingGod I wasn't particularly interested in diving deeper into the handheld angle. If you didn't get it then, chances of me helping you get it with further elaboration is about zero - particularly due to your earlier arguments being without merit.

There's no argument for requiring a 120hz vrr OLED screen when even £1000+ handheld gaming PCs don't even have OLED. You've also made a wild claim about £100 Nintendo controllers earlier.

And being in this site means I've seen the "sales have fallen off a cliff" line for the Switch and now the Switch 2 for more than 8 years now. It's old, it's boring, it's false, and it's been argued to death.

@GamingGod one is portable, the other isn't.

Bit surprised you're trying to claim 'sales fell off a cliff' in a comment thread about healthy sales

@GamingGod there are no oled screens with the same minimum spec as the Switch 2 on any handheld under £1000 to my knowledge. Not even the £1700++ GPD WIN 5 Gaming Handheld PC has an oled screen. Unless I'm mistaken, The ps vita also didn't have 120hz vrr.

Gaming companies have worked out that 120hz vrr is more important than an oled screen and that it's not yet cost effective to an oled version with those minimum specs.

@WiltonRoots Ultimately, a small but loud section of gamers want a better than PS5-level gaming handheld with an OLED screen at the same size or smaller than the Switch 2 with a minimum battery life of the Switch 1 v2 and minimum 512GB onboard memory all for under £350

@WiltonRoots crazies 😄 who hate portable gaming

@GamingGod Since when has the controller been £100? There also aren't any OLED screens on gaming handhelds under £1000 to my knowledge. Heck, the top range Rog Ally Xbox X doesn't have oled either so it's a weird complaint

@MoldyPasta never mind the fact that there are exactly zero handheld gaming consoles under £400 that can compete with the PS5 in performance and power. Robin seems to have wanted magic to happen in the handheld technology side.

@BloodWolfe it can't fit

@purple_shyguy for a £400 home console your complaint might have legs. For a handheld that costs under £400? Terrible take

@Metaphor1987 so you're saying they should have released a version of the game for each language so instead of producing 1 card they have to produce 5+ versions and estimate the numbers for each version plus the additional logistics planning and time to distribute? I don't think you've thought this through. And, this assumes that your idea is theoretically possible - console versions tend to be different to pc versions so comparing with Steam is a poor idea

@Serpenterror perhaps a bit harsh on both points. It's been argued to death but It can't fit on a card in the first place

@SurprisedRobinChu and since 30fps is perfectly playable and my pc weighs over 10kg, I'll play it on the Switch 2

@LastFootnote corporate greed is such a bore 😴

@SalvorHardin 😳🙄 I either missed or forgot about that post.

I feel the modern obsession in gaming media and a section of gamers for '60fps or bust' is detrimental to gaming overall as I feel that games are so much more than just pixels.

@DominionGamma I think we'd all have loved it beefed up more at the same price but this is still the most powerful handheld at its price.

There are more powerful handheld gaming PCs of course but they cost more at launch.

You're also forgetting that more power equals more power consumption equals needing a larger battery equals needing the unit to be larger equals which leads to increased complaints about weight. Ppl already complain about both the battery life, the size and the weight.

@dskatter 😄😎 yeah true! It certainly could fit in a 64gb card that way!

@swedetrap I still remain surprised by the number of loud comments online who expected PS5 level performance for the Switch 2 and won't play anything under 1080p 60fps.

@dskatter there's many who still sincerely believe this game could be optimised to fit a 64gb card. Of course, none work in gaming

@AceTrainerBloke buying digital to avoid buying a key card is cutting off your nose to spite your face. Unless you're choosing to pay for digital convenience of not needing insert the card when choosing to play. At least with the key card you can sell it later

@WhiteTrashGuy you can reasonably easily get the preorder in the UK for about £33ish

@Kilroy not every corporate lead needs to be loud/outspoken and shout about what they've done though I accept that it's harder for us to figure out whether he had a positive influence or not

@WiltonRoots hah! Certainly feels like some here would race to be part of that effort... Also feels like some here champion communism but that's a whole other can of worms

@koopababble I've worked with COOs. None of them act that way 😏

Way too many ppl seem to think that only outspoken leaders have done stuff

@FrenchVaniIIuxe What's wrong

@alwaysasn "But her introduction made her seem like she knew nothing of the medium." I feel she chose to focus on things other than herself for this video and her gamer creds are in the subtext if the third paragraph. It's for an external awards event after all, not a Nintendo one.

So many ppl swearing this is AI now having to backpedal....

Age of Imprisonment is an excellently crafted musou game and the latest Update to add violent enemies and a new forbidden difficulty does a lot to help with farming weapon upgrade materials. Completed the game and now working through the forbidden difficulty level for every story and challenge stage
