I mean, when talking about battery life: the Switch 2 is shorter whilst the OLED has it last longer. The thing is, there are games I want to play that are exclusive to Switch 2 (like HW: Age of Imprisonment or DK Banaza), I do have a ToTK special edition OLED switch though. The only difference is performance (as it’s 1080p handheld supporting up to 4K at 120 fps).
They are increasing the console price worldwide, it’s ¥49,980 ($309 / 270€) as of now but later it’ll become ¥59,980 ($371 / 324€), so should I purchase it? Also the console will become $500 / 500€ (for now it remains at $450 / 470€) I’ve heard that a new variant is releasing in 2027 with a portable battery, even then is the console still worth purchasing?


Sorry, I think I’m just a little frustrated with all the gatekeeping in this thread. It does feel a little absurd that it would be the budget option at this price. But the whole industry is a fucking absurd mess right now. We might be heading for a 1983 style crash.
You mean the steam hardware?
Yeah, hardware prices are fucked, but there’s hope on the horizon, if China really does start pumping out memory. Won’t help with GPUs, but we can always play indies that aren’t pushing the graphics envelope.
