Saw this coming.

Not enough reason to drop $$$ on switch 2 when switch 1 is a great enough console that they are obligated to support for a reasonable amount of time. To sell more switch 2s they have to deter people from buying switch 1s.

Or they could just stop producing them - that's what they'd do if they were smart - because that would raise switch 1 prices without them being fucking obvious about it.

Or you could use that money for a Steam Deck which can emulate Switch games and pretty much everything else.

It wouldn't surprise me if they already did and just overproduced them (and are raising the prices anyways because fuck-a-you it's Nintendo mario-finger
