Its time to address the Elephant In The Room. Switch OLED is ONLY $50 cheaper than a PS5

And they're using the same specs outside of the new screen that a vita had in 2011. No way such an archaic system is anywhere near $300 plus.

@hardwenzen: Wouldn't the PS5 be the real elephant in the room? 😉

An ugly one at that

This really shows the value the Xbox Series S is offering..

NO need to panic then.... PS5 should have no issues passing out the Switch if thats the case.

Cows still waiting for the Switch to become irrelevant... just like they predicted it would "by the end of the PS4 gen" lol.

When you give up on Nintendo like I did and look at them more objectively, it's actually crazy how overpriced and underpowered their stuff is. The OLED Switch is such a disappointment compared to what everyone has been speculating the new Switch Pro to be, and at a price point that only adds insult to injury.

Nah! Just big. Really big and audible when on.

Curious, what has opened your eyes? What was the breaking point?

Good for those who haven't bought a Switch yet, I guess.

@hardwenzen: He realized he’d have to get a job to afford Nintendo’s prices.

You know, when I said something like this, everyone got on my ass in this forum.

Even the Wii had price cuts and that sold well. Nintendo has gotten so stingy with price cuts for their main system.

@GameboyTroy: Wii had price cuts cause it’s sales started to slow down rapidly. Switch just broke the world record in year 5.

Don't have fun playing their games anymore.

I will get right on playing my Ps5 portable.....right.

@enzyme36: ”Cows still waiting for the Switch to become irrelevant."

I don't think anyone really cares. The point of these threads is to annoy faux-wegner, the Nintendo fanboy version of IP Daily.

Lol, you have such a fulfilling life.

So, you don't care but you are going out of your way to supposedly annoy faux-wegner? 😂

Seems like the lad has trolled you beyond repair.

Nintendo already has an established gaming franchise. No matter how behind their tech is.

<--- ME. Now I am contemplating on whether to get a Switch just for one game.

No news here.

Sheep always get fleeced.

Lemmings have no games to play.

Cows have the best games the industry has to offer.

TLHBO

Yeah, yet still watch it fly off the shelves cause sheep gonna sheep. They are so afraid it'll become a collectors item they must get it. Nintendo marketing of "limited supply" is genius!

@Pedro: you really have a reading comprehension problem.

@hrt_rulz01: I do, I'm not a lemming. 😎

I own his soul.

Nah! It is more like

What's the reason behind that? You find them too kiddy?

A $350 Nintendo console has never succeeded. This is gonna flop, and then Nintendo will drop it to $300, drop the OG to $270 with eShop credit, and rush out the successor in FY2023 H2.

I do not see how a PS5 is overpriced. For $400/$500 you get a complete system that is as powerful as a GPU close to that cost. Can not say the same thing about the Switch, which is, essentially, a woefully underpowered smartphone by today's standards.

It is when you consider the price of those smartphones. Consoles and handhelds will always be price efficient compared to PCs and smartphones.

Its like you want it to fail real hard, but its just not happening😭OLED will be scalped because its new. It will be sold out everywhere (but easier to find than a ps5). Nintendo will print that cash by doing nothing. No price drops of the Switch until next year either.

Since you're still a sheep (a furious sheep), you should be happy.

Why would Nintendo drop the price of the OG Switch when it's breaking sales records?

I doubt the OLED Switch will be mass produced to the same extent as the OG Switch and the Lite. It's a premium Switch for the niche hardcore that Nintendo shadow dropped on a Tuesday, likely to bolster sales of Metroid Dread which was featured in the ad and is launching on the exact same day.

The OLED Switch really isn't going to influence the trajectory of the Switch whatsoever. It's a minor cash in, and likely one of half a dozen Switch revisions we'll see. The only reason it got so much attention was because of the 4K rumors started by outside sources.

If I hated Nintendo that much, I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. This console always felt like proper content was always too far away and the REAL party doesn't start until Switch 2. Hell, BotW2 is practically going to be held hostage until they can get the new model out. I'm not feeling the Switch right now and I'm expressing that. I don't care who cries about it.

@hardwenzen: Get off me, peasant.

The Switch will not fail. Why is it so hard for you to accept this? OLED edition will sell like crazy. Switch 2, in over 2 years from now, will sell as much. So if you were hoping for Nintendo to begin doing poorly so they actually try making good games, you're simply out of luck. They don't need to do anything when they're printing cash on auto pilot. What you currently see, its the future of Nintendo. You can always be delusional like Casey, and tell yourself that everything is fine
🙃

I must admit I'm disappointed there's no visual performance upgrade but the oled will fly off the shelves.

@robert_sparkes: Oled just cost too much. Apple Pay’s $130 for a 5.8 screen.

@hardwenzen: You're just jealous because you can't afford a 3080. Enjoy your old, crusty graphics card and your console with performance from 5 years ago.

Whatever makes your insecurity feels like you won, bud.

I wonder if you opened your eyes up and gave up on the iphone? Because that costs around $2000 to buy but only around $140 to make. I hope people will open their eyes, but im not going to hold my breath. I only slap my self upside the head for not buying the cult like apple stock 15 years ago. Theres tons of apple sheep out there willing to get fleeced. Its a damn shame, I missed that gravy train.

PT barnum said it best: "Theres a sucker born every minute, you gotta take em for everything theyve got."

You have to compare it to the competition. I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max 512gb which is only $1,399 and that's Apple's best version of their best phone. There's other phones from other brands like Samsung with better technology and better specs, but not 10 times better. Also, unlike their computers, Apple's phones are actually competitively priced with the competition like Samsung. The Xbox Series S is 10 times more powerful and yet cheaper than the Switch OLED. You could argue that Apple products are overpriced, but their phones are competitively priced compared to the egregious disparity found in Nintendo's power to price ratios. Apple's computers are definitely overpriced and aren't competitively priced like their phones. But even still, Apple computer power to price ratios aren't as egregious as Nintendo's.

@arkephonic: The Switch is pretty powerful for a portable with 8 hour battery life. The Oled screen alone cost Apple $130 for a 5.8in. The OG Switch cost Nintendo $260 in parts, and that’s not counting R&D. Y’all really have no clue what y’all are talking about when it comes to pricing.

like I said, theres a sucker born every minute. https://navms.com/cost-of-production-for-iphone-12-and-iphone-12-pro-what-are-the-most-expensive-components/

Youd think that the cpu/gpu is the most expensive component in the iphone, or maybe the ram, but actually the OLED screen, cost $70 to buy from samsung, the qualcomm 5g modem sells for $90. Total bill to make is around $373, anywhere toe $450 max. So like I said...nintendo can charge whatever they feel like.

yep, and nvidia is famous for never giving discounts. I remember they had a falling out with MS over the issue, because they wouldn't reduce the price of their components in the xbox 360 even after 3 to 4 years. So MS went over to AMD side. Nintendo are just learning the kind of dbags nvidia are right now but I guess since the switch is selling like hotcakes at the current price anyway, it doesn't matter to them.

@mazuiface: How come Gamespot says the Switch has1 Tflops of performance?

LUL wut? How did you come up to that conclusion?

Because they suck at research. Switch's Tegra X1 is rated at 1TFLOPS, but only at max clocks and only at half-precision. But Switch is underclocked and most games use full precision.

@Mozelleple112: It is 1tflop, Switch docked hits 800gflops. These fanboys have no clue what they talk about.

Are you going to really hold your self on that?

How many more times stronger and how many more storage space has the PS5 over the switch?

This is Nintendo been nintendo they have done this with almost all their portables, they make a cheap fix and re release as a new model yet keep the same high price.

The xbox and PS have done the contrary over many years with slims models nintendo just want people to keep paying more money for the same shit.

classic.

Tormentos actually talking about the Xbox in a positive light. This is how you know the Switch really bothers cows.
