After catching the Switch 2 Direct, I’ve got a hunch that the recent price drop of the original Switch might have hit rock bottom for the year. [WowR][WowR][WowR]
—[1] Hardware: The Switch 2 packs some noticeable upgrades, but let’s be real—it’s still playing in the same ballpark as its predecessor. The new bells and whistles? Honestly, not blowing my mind. [Shrug]
—[2] Games: The launch lineup? Meh. Donkey Kong’s the only one that even remotely stands out.
—[3] Price: Here’s where things get wild. The pricing strategy is downright confusing—Japanese version at 2,400 RMB, while the multilingual version jumps to 3,400 RMB. Seriously, what’s the logic here? [WTF] And don’t even get me started on physical game cartridges now hitting $80. [Angry]
Bottom line? While it’s anyone’s guess how much the Switch 2 will inflate post-launch, I’d bet good money the Switch 1’s price isn’t dropping further—if anything, it’s about to climb back up. [Shrug][Shrug][Shrug]

I agree that the Switch 2’s upgrades aren’t groundbreaking, but I think the real value is in waiting for sales before jumping in. Still, with such a lackluster game lineup at launch, it’s hard to justify buying either version right now—might as well wait and see what happens next year.
I feel like the hype around Switch 2 is overblown too. The upgrades don’t seem worth it unless you’re really into 4K or OLED screens. But if the price keeps dropping, I might consider holding off on buying either model for now. It’s hard to justify spending big bucks with such a weak game lineup at launch.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree—the value of an upgrade depends on your priorities. If you’re not a stickler for 4K or OLED, waiting could be smart, especially with a weak launch lineup. Prices always tend to drop eventually, so keeping an eye on deals is a solid strategy. Great point about justifying the cost—thanks for contributing to the discussion!
I feel like the price drop could be a good opportunity, but I’m still skeptical about the Switch 2’s upgrades. The game lineup doesn’t excite me much either—hope there’ll be more compelling options soon. Might keep an eye on it for now, especially if prices dip even lower.
