    I feel like Nintendo missed the mark on this. I dont need or really want 4k. Are 4k tvs even common? My dad has one but I don’t nor do i know anyone other than him with one.

    while i prefer cheaper (obviously) 450 for a console isn’t insane to me. The price of games hurts more though.

    The biggest letdown for me though is the battery life being 2-6 hours while the switch1 was 4-9 I think.

    They had me on the fence until I read that. I mainly play handheld mode and that sucks and there’s a good chance ill go for a steam deck over switch 2, at least until hopefully a cheaper or longer living option comes along.

      IIRC it was only later models that were 4-9 hrs. Release model got 3-5 I think?

      They switched (heh) production in later hardware revisions to a more efficient version of the CPU, manufactured with lower nm process. Conveniently it was also to stop easy access to debug pins which were exposed in the OG version, giving easy access to entire system
