Oof, yeah, that's pretty steep for Nintendo. Honestly, I always wait at least a year for the library to build up and the price to drop a bit. I've heen thinking that a Steam Deck would be my next purchase as well, and if the Switch 2 turns out OK I'll get it in a couple of years.
I think price drops are a thing of the past for consoles nowadays, unless you're getting something used. Neither the Switch nor PS5 ever dropped in price. The PS5 even RAISED in price in some markets.
Oh. Well, that sucks ass. My switch was a present, so I never knew that.
Neither did wii for that matter.
