For the information? It is not only about Switch 2, it is about Nintendo.

From what I watched it is heavily biased against Nintendo and from someone who clearly isn't the target audience.

My interest in Nintendo has been slowly slipping away since the early 00s and I wouldn't even call myself a fan anymore but videos like these are worthless.

I don't know. I never had a Nintendo before my Switch, so many things in the video were uknown to me.

Yes, maybe the criticism leans toward the hateful side, but Nintendo is pushing it too far with their tactics these days.

Life goes on, I suppose. It seems gaming has hit its developmental ceiling, and companies are scrambling to find new ways to milk the cow for every drop.

Nintendo aren't the monster they are being played as.

I do think the price is too high for the console, games etc but they have always been slow to the party in many ways. That also means they create amazing stuff that the others cannot and have forged their own path. Don't hate on them for that aspect.

Well joining the party of others is not good, when the others do shit, is it? This is not for framing Nintendo the devil and other console companies as angels.

Global console gaming is dominated by three major corporations, all now focused on expanding profit margins (with 'margins' being the keyword). Nintendo, with its strong loyal fanbase and historically stable pricing, is the easiest target to start another round of game price hikes.
