1 year agoNot sure if this counts as a feature, but; more expensive base hardware, less expensive peripherals. I’d legitimately pay like $400 for a top of the line handheld system as long as I could buy a second pair of controllers for less than $50.
I legitimately haven’t touched my Switch in like 3 years because of controller drift, and I just can’t bring myself to pay $80 for something that seems like it should cost $40. So my PS5 and XSX have pulled my attention away completely.
TotK nearly convinced me to jump back in, but I ultimately decided against it since it didn’t seem worth $150 to resume playing the Switch.
True, although my gripe is on the principality that they could charge $10 for the replacement parts and still make a nice profit. Even when handling each brand’s controllers with the utmost care, I’ll end up spending $60-$90 in replacement parts for a joycon before I need to replace an Xbox controller, and to add insult to injury, the Xbox controller costs less than a Joycon!
