I find it ridiculously impressive given how abhorrently expensive purchasing and owning it is.
Honestly compared to other handhelds and current-gen consoles, the price seems OK for what you're getting. The problem for me has always been how expensive Nintendo's games are, $80 seems way too much.
As if, the console's a scam and the game pricing is just the cherry on top. Half committing to caring about how much things cost is a waste of time, either acknowledge they're both garbage or stop spreading this half assed attitude.
Didn't realise that consoles were sports teams that you were either in the club or out of it. OP is allowed to have a nuanced take.
Sega does what Nintendon't.
It warms my old man heart to see the console flame wars still going strong. Tribalism, what a thing, lemme tell ya. Human nature at its naturist.

MOVEMENT CONTROLS PEAKED WITH WASD!
The Switch 2 being a bad deal and Nintendo having a VERY strong history of anti-consumer behavior has nothing to do with console wars. The person you are replying to is equally allowed to have a nuanced take.
What, are you expecting every comment critical of Nintendo to also include criticism of how terribly Xbox has managed it's game studios just so we can be "fair and balanced"?
The comment I replied to believed that both the console and the game price is a scam, that is their valid opinion.
They criticised OP for "half caring about the rip off pricing". OP didn't think the console had ripoff pricing. Why is that a character flaw of op like is suggested by the commenter?
Bro said Black and white unironically
Then point me to another handheld that can do the same thing for $450
Isn't the cheapest steam deck $480? Does the switch do something more or less the same?
The steam deck doesn't come with a dock, has a worse screen at 800p/60Hz compared to the S2's 1080p/120Hz, is way larger and thicker, doesn't have detachable controllers so if you do buy the dock you'll have to bring your own controller. It also can't play in a kickstand mode which is a negative if you're wanting to play with friends outside which is something I do often with my Switch 1.
I like the Steam Deck, really, but it's not a 1:1 comparison and I think the average person will still really prefer the Switch 2.
Do what? Play one game?
Careful, that kind of talk will get your comment ~~removed~~ reported by OP
Edit: new info
It really isn't. Nintendo consoles always sell out at launch. It's how they're doing six months or so later that actually matters.
Especially when you need new controllers because they aren't really bothered to fix the stick drift
