Is The Nintendo Switch 2 Worth $629.99 Canadian?

 

Where do we start?  Do I go right to the point?  Do I answer this blog question quickly?  The question is, is the Nintendo Switch 2 Worth $629.99 Canadian?  Well..... hmm, I would say yes.  However, many people would say no, and that's completely understandable. $699.99 is a high price point for a piece of technology that's easy to break.  On top of that, many people don't have this kinda money to put towards a gaming console as the world continues to get more and more expensive.  I totally get it!.  But for the hardcore gamers out there, it is far too tempting to shy away from never picking this up.  I love the fact that they never drifted away from the original concept of Switch.  The idea of a console turning into a handheld as well as a home console is absolutely brilliant!.  Only this time, it holds a lot more power and plays so smoothly.  But back to that $649.99, I was not expecting this price at all.  I was thinking $499.99, considering that was the same price I paid when I bought my Sony PlayStation 5 years ago!.  Keep in mind how much more powerful a PlayStation 5 is compared to a Nintendo Switch 2.  

FUTURE OF GAMING 

I would like to break this up here and just explain my thoughts moving forward with the future of gaming.  Whether you think the Nintendo Switch 2 is far too expensive or not, count on every console and game being just as expensive or more as time goes on.  Look at the PlayStation 5 Pro, for example, coming in at a $949.99 price.  Do you really think the PlayStation 6 is gonna go back down to the PlayStation 5 price point?  Not a snowball's chance in hell.  Nintendo knows people are gonna buy this console regardless of the high price.  The Nintendo Switch 2 has shattered the sales record with 3.5 million units sold in just four days after its June 5th release.  My point is, if you're a gamer and want to continue to game, you are gonna simply be dealing with high prices til the end of time.  Now I'm sure there are second-hand options or refurbished options to knock the price down for ya, but that's as good as it's gonna get.  

FINAL THOUGHT  

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I wanna end this blog to say I personally have enjoyed the Nintendo Switch 2.  Not as much as my PlayStation 5, but it's a great unit for taking away on vacations or trips.  As I did when I went to the cottage last week.  Gotta love my Mario Kart World, I got yelled at cause I was in the middle of a race and breakfast was ready and sitting there for 5 minutes.  ( Rolls Eyes ) women.... haha.  Life is just expensive, but you gotta have fun while you are here. If you love to play video games, I definitely would suggest picking up the Switch 2 at some point.  That's all I have right now for this blog.  If you guys have any suggestions or comments about anything, please feel free to do so.  Love to hear the feedback, whether it's good or bad!.  Till next blog, I will see you guys then!
