    Saw this coming.

    Not enough reason to drop $$$ on switch 2 when switch 1 is a great enough console that they are obligated to support for a reasonable amount of time. To sell more switch 2s they have to deter people from buying switch 1s.

    Or they could just stop producing them - that’s what they’d do if they were smart - because that would raise switch 1 prices without them being fucking obvious about it.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if they already did and just overproduced them (and are raising the prices anyways because fuck-a-you it’s Nintendo mario-finger
