The hardware is behind the XboxOne and PS4 yet it's more expensive?
Ninty wants to make money
Also preeety sure it costs more to manufacture
Hardware doesn't mean anything kappa

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Some people thought the same about the Wii since it it was underpowered and maxed out at 480p. Oh wait, it sold really well.
Wii =/= Switch though

Lol @ the idiots even willing to spend 300 $ for that antiquated thing. There is no justification for the hype :P
I must be an idiot then and so many others here? everyone that's pre-ordered a Switch @gbatemp your all a bunch of idiots, wake up for god sakes! also this guy on the op surely he is just trolling? he wont import one in because his family hates the US? sounds like an excuse to me because he wants one badly and can't really get one!

The hardware is older than the XboxOne and PS4 (2012 consoles) yet it's more expensive? Nintendo is fucking everyone and they don't even notice xD

First off, you're not an idiot lmao
Everyone has opinions and I'm pretty sure it's a human right to have them
You can get called an idiot for it but deciding if it's true is up to you
Second, I'm not trolling
Third, Yeah my family's kinda dumb
It's not an excuse
Or is it?

This just in also: Expensive home hardware, keeps getting more expensive to the end user because that end user is dumb enough to keep buying hardware for there pc and updating it to play games that you can on a home console! News @10:P

But well, you know, gotta catch 'em all? No? Xbone is there already, pretty thing TBH. PS4, well, sure I will get one around, and now I require my beautiful portable Wii U+.
Always wanted a portable Wii U+... Or a near xbone quality 3DS.... In my eyes, it is just this, and as much as I hate Nintendo lately, compared to the other consoles it is the one where a fucking new real Metroid is the most probable.

The only thing Wrong with this picture is why that guy isn't more shocked to see a midget with cartoony factions?
It looks to me like Mario has just blown a right big fart out and the bloke on the left is looking at him to say, that one stank bad! Mario is looking at him with a look of relief on his face as he goes along..

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow

    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?

    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/

    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol

    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it

    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
