600$ Mario Kart machine
And this is why capitalism is getting even worse, people can’t hold the line when corporations keep pushing for more and more money.
People fucking love to spend money on electronics
I’m a big Nintendo fan and I don’t even buy their controllers. The Switch and Switch 2 are very friendly to third party controllers, so I use 8BitDo Ultimate controllers, which are fantastic, have great battery life, no drift, and are $30. Highly recommended over an $85 controller.
lmao – no one cares about your dumb criticisms.
Nintendo is Apple of video games. People just have that Mario brain. So there is no point trying to apply logic here…
i am thunking to buy a switch but still havent the chance yet …
Hopefully by a bunch of scalpers that can’t flip them and end up eating losses
Must consoom
I dont see why imo. They are actually overpriced for what it offers compared to 3rd parties which can have more features, cheaper, and hall effect sticks.
Lmfao
Yes, scalpers will buy lots of an item to resell it.
I will never buy another Nintendo or any of their products ever again. Neither should their fan boys. But because they don’t have enough self respect to not let companies rip them off, they will continue this trend and it will be the end of gaming as we know it
I just got one, they were sold out for so long.
I’ve got more than enough 8bitdo controllers to never need a Nintendo controller but I really like them, they are more flared than 8bitdo
The switch 2 pro controller is a pretty big improvement over the original too
Bits it’s should really cost 55$ max
The switch 2 pro controller has the best joysticks I’ve ever felt. I also love the glossy feel it has all around. I’ve also found myself using the GL and GR buttons quite a bit, although I wouldn’t call it a selling point for the controller exactly.
People at launch used the massive sales to say everyone complaining was full of crap and just bought the console anyway, and calls to boycott or lower prices were nonsense.
I maintained that the Switch is so old, and the install base is so high, that they were ALWAYS going to blow through their initial stock. Selling out of 5 million units sounds crazy, but it’s less than 5% of the more than 150 million Switch units that have been sold in its lifetime.
You’d never see the effects of people who were priced out and/or boycotting when the supply base is a single-digit percentage of the potential customer base. I can go on Best Buy and get the Switch 2 or the MKW bundle, no problem. 6 weeks after launch, and buying it is not an issue. I have a harder time finding stock on video cards that cost twice as much and released in January/February.
The surge of people who were ALWAYS going to buy the Switch 2 seem to have already waned. We’re already getting the second bundled discount for the fall, with the Legends Z-A announcement. I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing discounts to $400 next year, if not a price cut like the 3DS received a few months after it released.
Nintendo fanboys downvoting everyone. Snowflakes…
Why are people shoveling money to Nintendo and their walled garden chicanery, especially in this economy, I thought all GenZers were unemployed?
