*** The Official Nintendo Switch 2 ***

Like the prioritisation stuff particularly as a Nintendo Online subscriber. May reduce scalpers a tiny bit. That said I have a tendancy to turn marketing emails off so might be in trouble on that one. Also not the highest play count as I spend more time on PC and PS5.
With only 256Gb internal storage on the console, physical cartidges will be in high demand I reckon. And Nintendo knows that, hence the high prices.

Classic milking job , later on switch 2 oled release,
These consoles are aimed at kids. Parents won't be handing over a console with no games come Christmas time. They will sell for sure

I might hold my nose and shell out the £75 for Mario Kart cos you'll get the value out of it and 1st party Nintendo stuff never goes down but sure as hell wouldn't be buying others at that price!
Its OK, as someone pointed out, I can just not buy it. Which I won't be.
I was planning to pick up one of these on release but at those prices... No thanks.
£75 for a game, no bloody chance. I almost never pay full price for game and I'm not going to start doing it at £75. I was hoping the console itself would be around £299 as it appears to not be a huge upgrade over the switch 2?

Should be plenty scope to place a pre-order elsewhere eg. Amazon, Smyths, Very etc. I think I should be ok for an invite ; have used my Switch a fair amount this last couple of years, have an Online membership and have even done a few surveys, the last of which was only a few days ago. If I don't get an invite despite all of that then I'll proclaim I hate Nintendo and wear a Sony Pony t-shirt

Nintendo consoles aren’t just bought buy kids
Regardless parents can’t all afford to be splurging £75 a game multiple times or even on a few games at launch for their kids etc
I'll keep my eyes on Amazon.Should be plenty scope to place a pre-order elsewhere eg.

Let's go ..... pick me pick me
Cant get a 5080 or 5090 for a reasonable price ... hopefully can get a Switch 2 surely
To be honest the kids play with the Switch more than I do to be honest, but it is something shiny for me

The system price with Mario Kart is pretty reasonable especially after the spit take of the PS5 Pro price reveal 
I'll definitely be trying to get a preorder in for it, It reads like I meet all of the invite criteria so fingers crossed I get one.

I suppose it depends if that's the new RRP as I don't think I can stomach £75, even though I don't buy many Switch games. It's just too much to justify for me.
