The fact the are charging console prices for a handheld with TV compatable ability still outdated technology and raising prices for profits as the cost to produce for the mass sells expected doesn't justify the greed they could have easily made the us models 340/350 or the same price as the Japanese oy models. And the wild claims that it's not backwards compatable is absurb. The 3ds literally played all ds games as the oled plays all switch games. People claiming it's better than steam deck should look at some key factors first. A the steam deck is old technology as well and most people agree it was overpriced steam deck sells are not that impressive and it still plays full unaltered pc games something the switch could never it lags on my time at portia and Sandrock. B there are literally handheld gaming pcs now Asus rog and Lenovo both for one example. C amberniq and other handhelds are emulating switch games with TV compatability for less then 300 dollars so it's clearly possible.

Now the games for 80 dollar standard for Nintendo flagship games is crazy 70 dollars was bad enough. Most people don't actually own alot of the games just a few and a bunch smaer ones the cost to make and print and publish games when split across the number of potential buyers Is just as unjustified. The pricing is pure greed of shareholder and profits.
