Switch 2 price is a "strategic balancing act," and there's a reason why Japan is getting a separate model that's $110 cheaper than the US' $450 console, analysts suggest (www.gamesradar.com)

This is what cracks me up when people bitch about spending $600 or even $1000 on a phone. Like, you have no idea how cheap this is relatively in computer history and it’s in your pocket and always on.

To be fair, brands sabotage their own phones to try to force people to buy a new one every year. 1000 euros would be fine if the phone lasted the better part of a decade, but between lagging or non existent software updates, broken updates, and no affordable reparability, 1000 doesn't buy you a phone it pays for an expensive rental.
