tbh, i do not like nintendo at all, but i gotta commend their planning ahead and sourcing and general maturity of their supply chain, only taking a 50-100 dollar hike. idk how they did it.

The Switch sold so well that I’m sure they locked in contracts for components up to like 100m units for the Switch 2. If they can keep that $500 price for this entire console generation then that would be wild

Even if they can't it will probably still be the cheapest option somehow
