It's going to be interesting to see how these compete with beautiful little handheld PCs, especially the Steam Deck which is so much better for consumers due to repair-ability, compatibility and game pricing. These are better for children even without Switch emulators giving access to all the games Nintendo would gate-keep.

Meanwhile Nintendo clings to their archaic policies never discounting games, no-refund policy that isn't even legal in many places, and systemic hardware issues like joy con drift that rip consumers off around the world except in the EU where they were forced to provide lifetime warranties. I don't think this is good enough anymore.


Problem is that most people don't care :( they just want to play Zelda.

As long as exclusive games exists people will flock to their hardware. I personally dislike Nintendo as a company but I can't deny that some of the games they produce are the ones I enjoy the most.
