Note beforehand. When one is a available, I will buy one.

Okay so recently on of course social media (tiktok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc) people have been spewing boner misinformation about this console. Before you down vote me to oblivion l hear me out. Yes. The console has a 120hz refresh rate… But people are saying this console is outputting 4k resolution at 120fps docked… 120fps isn’t even an option docked (tested on LTT) and not only that, only a very very small amount of games will be 120fps. Cyberpunk runs at 30fps, or 40 on performance. But people are saying it runs 60fps at 4k!? Why? Why would people just blatantly lie about this information when you can get it actually tested?

Game prices? I understand the Nintendo cult is always stiff. But for the last 10 years these people bitched about $70 games. And now they are just throwing excuse after excuse defending $80 games now. But the lie I’ve been hearing is “Sony has been selling $80 games since the PS5 came out” No… No it hasn’t. There is not one base PS5 game for $80 ever made.

So… why are people saying this stuff? It’s weird.

Anyways. I can tell this console will be a monster in 1-2 years before the $600 OLED model drops. I’m bummed Nintendo kind of fucked the market for consumers. Now every dev will start games at $80 and no one will blame Nintendo for it in the future. (Like if Ubisoft release the division 3 for $80 people will just blame Ubisoft). Don’t forget who started the price hikes (not inflation)

    but the fact that Switch games released by Nintendo just haven’t gone on sale.

    But this isn’t true either. I use DekuDeals for price tracking, you can look up any game for yourself and see when it’s been on sale.

      You are correct, I should have done more research before stating that. However, the sales for first-party Switch games still seem much more hard-to-find as well as much less of a discount than when you compare to the PC market. For example, if you look at Super Mario Odyssey, the linked site lists an all-time low price of $29.49. Compare this to a AAA game released the same year, Horizon Zero Dawn, which can somewhat regularly be found for $12.49 on Steam. The Steam sales throughout the year also make it much easier to find PC games on sale, and as far as I’m aware the Switch doesn’t have something comparable. I just believe it’s much harder to find good deals on Nintendo games than the vast majority of other publishers, which is why the high price tag is hard to justify for many.
