I'm not a big Nintendo fan, because of their pricing and lawsuits, but I'm siding with them on this one.
If you can't afford a Switch 2, don't buy one.
This is coming from someone who really couldn't afford one right now. We wait until we can or the price goes down (oh wait. Nintendo doesn't do that )
Or, and hear me out…
If you’re working on your credit score… Go for it!
I was able to get an Xbox Series X and made on-time monthly payments for it over 2 years. It opened a new line of credit and regular automatic payments toward it did wonders for my credit score.
Right, but I would consider that being able to afford one.
I think it very tone deaf with regards to how their trying to up the prices of games, which I think is BS, and increasing the price of accessories, and locking things behind subscriptions.
Very much so a Blizzard, "don't you have phones?" Type of situation.
