industry analyst are all saying the switch 2 will get another price increase in 2027 and potentially another price increase afterwards in 2028The steam deck 1TB model has gone up 300usd since launch I feel like cheap gaming options have vanished from the industry Should Nintendo and Sony go back to making cheap pocketable handhelds at an affordable price?
SEGA will save us
>>740268271Chinkhelds are basically holding things down for poorfags. Should Nintendo release something cheap and soulful like another gameboy, probably. Do they have the resources to make that kind of investment right now? Fuck no. Neither does Sony and neither does Microsoft.

>>740269189I would, but I think tech in all industries is about to sky rocket in price, so I'm in gatherer-mode. Getting what I can get while the getting is good.
>>740268271>cheapDo you really need me to break out the inflation calculator to show that the PSP was relatively as expensive at release as the Switch 2 is?
>>740268271I just miss when handheld consoles were actually portable. Now my only options are consoles over a decade old, using a phone, or carrying around a console that needs its own fucking case.
