    did it… did it actually go up, or did the price go up but sales per unit actually declined.

    I’m seeing laptops that I used to be able to buy for 1400, now cost 2500-3000… nothing different about them but absurd prices…

            It’s basically what Sony and Microsoft have done for their entire console careers generation to generation: made a thing that’s slightly faster with perhaps some better controllers.

              Disagree, Nintendo used to compete but stopped probably around the time of the gamecube. The wii was huge, such a fantastic product and then again with the switch. The forged their own lane both times so people didnt have to compete but this and wii u are lazy.

              Playstation had massive swings, unlocked bootloaders, blu ray, 4k, entertainment systems.

              Xbox tried too with the kinect and other big swings.

              The ps5 is meh, I dont know the new xbox to be fair but the switch is such a meh product too. I have little doubt that thy could run anything they make for it on the original too.

              Im not even sure the switch 2 has any big feature over the other one. A mouse wheel and some exclusives.
