Recently, foreign media IGN editor Claire posted that the Switch 2 will be released soon, and its pricing has caused some players to question its cost-effectiveness.Claire said she once loved Nintendo handheld, but since she bought PC handhelds such as ROG Ally, she has hardly used Switch.Handheld consoles such as ROG Ally are compatible with platforms such as Steam and Epic Games, allowing her to play independent games and third-party masterpieces at a lower cost, and avoid repeated purchases of games on the Switch.

"The bad thing is that the Switch game discount frequency is low and the discount intensity is small, which has led me to long-term conflict between not wanting to repeat consumption for existing games and desire for NS machine experience. The end result is to completely give up on playing."

Compared with the first-generation Switch released in 2017, the market competition in handheld consoles is now fierce, with new products such as Steam Deck emerging one after another, and hardware performance continues to improve.Claire said this allows her to play games from Steam, XGP and Epic libraries."Blue", "Little Nightmare 2", "Resident Evil" and so on became her favorites.And if these games are purchased on the Switch, they will cost hundreds of dollars extra.

Claire believes that the Switch 2 is no longer unique. Its high price, Nintendo's high-price strategy and low discounts are discouraged by players who already have PC handhelds.She admitted that unless Nintendo offers more attractive exclusive content, the Switch 2 has limited appeal to PC handheld users.
