Sony is increasing the price of all PS5 consoles by around $100 globally due to the shortage of RAM, so maybe releasing the Switch 2 last year wasn't such a bad idea.

Not really. Nintendo might have to do the same with the Switch 2. If they had just stuck with their aging console, they might have managed costs enough to keep the price the same or even cheaper.

Funny you say that because if the rumors are true they plan to do the opposite soon and release an OLED version.

The load speeds are really fast if you own Switch 1 games digitally since they get downloaded to the internal storage. The problem is that the physical copies run off of the old microSD-speed carts because Nintendo are assholes and don't let you install to fast storage instead.
I'd take that particular rumor with a

If they did an oled switch 2 it wouldn't exactly be unheard of since they did that with switch 1
I wish. My switch 2 is docked 99.9% of the time. Would have been nice to pay $200 instead of $500 or whatever the numbers ended up being.

Right, but Nintendo came right out and said before the Switch 2 launch that there would likely never be an OLED model because of HDR.

The portable functions are really the only reason to have a Switch 2 over a PS5. It's really useful for folks that need to take a game with them traveling or on the go in general. Also useful if I'm tired and have to go to bed, but also want to keep playing something a bit longer. If it's PS5 I'm SOL.
All of that said, releasing a non-portable version would probably cut the price in half and get the system to a lot more people that don't need the portable features. They should definitely do it.

You have to understand the Japanese - Nintendo mind.
“It’s called the Switch, we cant just make a home TV only version of it that does not… switch… it has to /do/ something…switch-y-y.”

Well mobile gaming is huge in Japan.
Also you guys are fools if you think Nintendo would make a TV only version at half cost lol. They don't even put their games on sale.
