GTA VI will be 100$
The hype around GTA VI is going to be crazy hard for it to live up to. People been speculating for years and years now and that could lead to a lot of unrealistic expectations. One thing I do respect Rockstar for though is they never caved to pressure to release the sequel fast
No new Zelda, no new Mario. I don't know what Nintendo is doing but I am not a hyped up for the Switch 2 as I thought I'd be.
I do wonder how the upgrades for BOTW/TOTK will be though. I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't seem to add anything (especially a DLC expansion for TOTK).

If it bombs, it will. The Nintendo 3DS set a precedent for this.
The 3DS (and relatedly the Wii U) bombed because they had fatal, expensive gimmicks. The Switch 2 is a hardware iteration that everyone has been asking for. It won't bomb.
But then again, consumers can be surprisingly loyal despite such economic factors. So it may still end up running off like a bandit.
Despite all of the negative/critical takes, I think the switch 2 looks great. The hardware improvements look nice. The top usb-port is a great addition with the kickstand, so you can actually charge while you play (this was a bust with switch 1). I think the camera is also good. I actually really look forward to playing mario games with my nieces. And for those who don't want it, it's no extra cost. 120fps and 1080p…
Haven't heard much complaints about the hardware. Seems like a good iterative evolution. even the $450 price point was somewhat expected. As always, it's the software pricing that makes everything absurd. They jumped straight to $80 in a mere 2-3 years for them after Tears of the Kingdom's $70. And Mario Kart hits further beyond with $90. I wonder how that will fare in this economy. Will consumers still take upon tha…
my point being: due to the risks assumed (someone can click a button and rob the product from you), the rights lost (cannot exchange games with your cousin), and the general lack of consumer protections on digital rentals aka. licenses, I'm a firm believer that their price should be 20 to 50% of what a proper physical copy costs; starting from the fact that you cannot spend $80 on a game, enjoy it, then resell it for $60 or so as we all ought to be able to do in all cases no matter what.
Doesn't microSD Express rely on DMA over a PCI-e lane? Curious if that could become a future attack vector to get homebrew running.

Ah, share gameplay data. The thing every modded switch has turned off.
Why would Nintendo give special treatment to owners of modded switches?
No new Zelda, no new Mario. I don't know what Nintendo is doing but I am not a hyped up for the Switch 2 as I thought I'd be.
Yeah, it has been 8 years since the last new 3D Mario game.
