Steve Streza<p>Some napkin math: analysts at launch claimed Switch 1 cost $257 to make and sold for $299. If that ratio holds, Switch 2 would cost around $387 to make.

Kristoffer Johansson<p>I was thinking about preordering the Switch 2, but here in Sweden, the version without Mario Kart costs more (≈$680) than a standard edition PS5. Since I have limited time to play and an ever-growing backlog on my PS5, it just doesn’t feel worth it.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.kristofferjohansson.com/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.kristofferjohansson.com/tags/Switch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Switch2</span></a></p>
