Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

but why...................
Because its the next big thing, and its still cheaper than cycling, motorsports, traveling, eating out, fashion, wargaming, many types of art, and a lot of other activities. Also, the release got delayed and has been anticipated for a long time, so people have had the chance to save for it.
okay this answer makes the most sense to me thank u
gaming PCs are 2-4x the price depending on how much compute you want to buy
~$500 can buy you used medium-end laptop that can absolutely play any and all modern games. Source: I did this earlier this year.
I mean yea. but i can play more games on my shitty laptop than just 1. i totally get buying the switch 2 when it has more games but idk why ppl r going out in droves to buy them now
Buy that shit on Klarna then default on the payments, it's free money!
maybe there are hundreds of thousands of framerate enjoyers who want to finally play switch 1 games at stable 60hz
It's been five years since the last console release, and eight years since Nintendo's last one; their longest console generation ever.
I don't understand people who buy consoles at launch either, but, whoever they are, they've had longer to save up between consoles than ever before.
