What's annoying about this is that (at least for me) the switch 2's price is not the problem (outside of the USA, good luck to American Nintendo fans, you'll need it), I get that it is expensive for a Nintendo console (I probably couldn't afford one) but it has hardware worth the price (from what I have seen, feel free to correct me). The problem are the overpriced games, £75 (physical)/£67 (digital) is too much even for a Nintendo game. Do Nintendo really think they can just get away with prices that inflated in a market where most families will go "but we already have Mario Kart! Why spend another £430!!"

Also the greed. Charging for the virtual tour game (however cheap it may be), charging for performance updates to existing games (not extra content, only performance). Switch 1 games should just run better on the new console by default.

I’m not even sure hw is fairly priced. They’re able to sell the same thing in Japan for 100$ cheaper. I don’t think they’re losing money there.
