Yeah this won’t be a Wii-U flop but it’s not going to hit switch 1 numbers.

Yeah, the pricing is def. going to matter. Casual gamers already have a Switch, economic times are not great for a lot of people. And if hte kid is still playing and having fun with the Switch gonna put a big dent on the sales numbers, at least initially.

I don't think anybody sane predicts a Wii-U level flop but I'm just not seeing how Switch 2 comes even remotely to the level of success Switch had at this point.

The sticker shock is gonna be there for a lot of people, especially on the games. Every single console that has released that most people thought was overpriced has struggled or flopped. Both Sony and Nintendo should have learned this lesson but they seem to convince themselves the masses will buy their shite at any price.

The odds of me personally getting one are very high, after all I've got every home console Nintendo has ever made except the Wii-U, but it will probably be a few years when they've actually built up a decent library of games and the price has perhaps come down a tad.

Just saw the physical game carts don't contain the game. Nintendo was the last retro compatible holdout, RIP. Sad times.

Real game cards still exist. They are just introducing a new concept for Switch 2, basically a physical "key" to a digital game, so you can use it as physical game but the actual game still needs to be downloaded.

I'd imagine the big first party Nintendo titles will all be the "real" variety.
