     @cienmilojos @cameronbosch Yep, and there's a precedent for that kind of move: 3DS. Nintendo will eat money on each console sold before it lets the system fail in a key market like the US.

     @killyourfm Unfortunately, regardless of the reason, $80 - $90 for games plus new microSD express cards plus $450 for a console is still going to be too much for many families. I think in the US, the Switch 2 is going to flop solely for pricing out their biggest market.

     @cameronbosch @killyourfm nah son. It will sell. Knowing them they'll drop the price after a while or release bundled systems with games that make the cost make more sense and then release a Switch 2 lite for like $200.
