I mean, historically it seems pretty in-line with Nintendo releases, adjusted for inflation:

  • NES: $582
  • SNES: $480
  • N64: $410
  • GCN: $362
  • Wii: $399
  • WiiU: $419
  • Switch 1: $396
  • Switch 2: $449

It's only ~$50 more than the Switch 1, and they just raised the price of the Switch 1 by $50.

    With each gen we got some advancements. Now they’re cutting corners for share holders

    I mean, to pretend the Switch 2 is identical to the Switch 1 is pretty ridiculous.

    I’m not implying there aren’t any improvements this time around I just feel like the improvements and corner cutting cancel each other out but that’s just my opinion

    That's fine, all I'm saying is it's not like it's significantly more expensive or out of line price-wise historically.

    More to the point, the article wasn't talking about launch prices of consoles at all.
