Very frustrating. I got the switch 1 at launch and played the fuck out of it. switch 2 is fine value wise, but with the cost of games and the unrepairablity I think I'll stick to my PC.

I really don't understand why consoles are sold at a loss when you could release an emulator and sell digital games for the console, make drivers for the controller and make bank.

Are Nintendo consoles sold at a loss? I always assumed the lower specs kept them profitable.

Also are you paying $60-70 for a Nintendo game that runs on your PC? Right now they never have to reduce that price and it still sells.

Also are you gonna pay another $10 per month to play online?

Nintendo has their own market right now where they make bank, there is no reason to change that.
