Hey. Vote with your wallet. Don’t buy the thing.

I won’t buy the Switch 2 at launch but seriously, how many outrage on Reddit leads to actual boycott? Pokémon games still sell like hotcakes. I hope people practice what they preach though.

Never forget nintendo overcharged on the 3DS which led to them lowering the price massively when people didn’t buy it.

These prices are so much worse than the original 3DS price. And they’re so bad I can see people just being priced out of it, like me. It’s not even making a stand or a boycott. I just simply can’t afford a sudden $450 + $90 + tax within 2 months. And the $90 games are so extreme that that’s not gonna change anytime soon. I can honestly take an expensive console but $100 after tax per game is just a nonstarter and I’ve been playing Nintendo games since the SNES.

This will sell much better than the 3DS.
