for real, i am utterly baffled by the fact they’re being sold out. it has to be an artificial scarcity thing because there’s no reality in which the average person is dropping $500 on a console that has 1 game right now
I mean yea. but i can play more games on my shitty laptop than just 1. i totally get buying the switch 2 when it has more games but idk why ppl r going out in droves to buy them now
Because its the next big thing, and its still cheaper than cycling, motorsports, traveling, eating out, fashion, wargaming, many types of art, and a lot of other activities. Also, the release got delayed and has been anticipated for a long time, so people have had the chance to save for it.
I’m guessing that’s who’s buying Switch 2s. Because I don’t know who else can afford it.

They’ve actually produced a ton of units. Its one of the most successful console launches ever. Like, 3m in a week or something.
but why…
gaming PCs are 2-4x the price depending on how much compute you want to buy

Buy that shit on Klarna then default on the payments, it’s free money!
maybe there are hundreds of thousands of framerate enjoyers who want to finally play switch 1 games at stable 60hz
~$500 can buy you used medium-end laptop that can absolutely play any and all modern games. Source: I did this earlier this year.

okay this answer makes the most sense to me thank u
It’s been five years since the last console release, and eight years since Nintendo’s last one; their longest console generation ever.
I don’t understand people who buy consoles at launch either, but, whoever they are, they’ve had longer to save up between consoles than ever before.
