At $500, the system would cost as much as a PlayStation 5 or XBox Series X and Nintendo would not be able to sell it as a low cost alternative. It would also be a 60% price increase over the previous generation. I would expect $400 and hope for $350.
I am ready for the battery life to keep getting worse, especially at the lower end of the range (so from 2.5-6.5 down to 2-6).
No graphics or performance improvement for old games running on the Switch 2 unless the publisher puts out a Switch 2 specific patch. Nintendo would rather have ugly games that work as expected rather than pretty games that introduce new bugs.
For me, it depends on how much the upgrade packs add. If you frame it as “We will be releasing select Switch titles as enhanced editions on the Switch 2. If you already have the Switch version, you can buy the enhanced edition at a discount by getting it as an Upgrade Pack.”
Doesn’t PlayStation have a similar program?
