Who is actually paying those prices….i hope these scalpers catch a major L. People need to do their research, you can wait for after the holidays for a wifi streaming device

I should have ordered a few of these... Yeah while I'm enjoying it and it's nice to not have to use my phone for remote play this thing is not worth any more than $200.

Consumers are progressively getting sadder. Who spends $400+ on one of these things when a $100 backbone and a smartphone people already own can provide a similar experience? I could maybe see if you couldn’t accomplish remote play any other way but since it’s possible nah.

My man your observations are late as fukk all the time. This is a much better experience.

Those high listings aren't selling, it's the ones that are around $299~350 that are moving.

This shyt fire …. Loving this

 

[Illuminatos]

Scalpers tryna resell this for $400+.
This ain’t the product for that. Read the room you bozos.

Have you actually done this? Its a far lesser experience. Your phone screens resolution is half the size and letterboxed, the backbone controller is flimsy as hell, (worse than the joy-cons), and you have to sacrifice your phone and its battery to do it.

Most people that have actually used remote play understand the benefits of having a dedicated device with a big nice looking screen and a comfortable controller attached to it.

Honestly upgrading to the latest iPhone is what in part made me bush my original backbone as it wouldn't have worked due anyway to the new USB-C connection. I have no use for my backbone now, and I knew I wasn't going to buy another backbone just for remote play for a number of reasons even if the experience was serviceable. My situation is probably unique, and this device certainly won't be for everyone, but I haven't regretted my decision at all.

if u peep the Switch thread, he also predicted nobody would want one cuz of smartphones.

we see how that turned out

The Nintendo Switch is now the third-bestselling console of all time​

Nintendo Switch sales surpass the Game Boy and PS4

132.46 million sold as of September 30th

Cellphone lobbyist in here

 

[Fctftl]

The handheld market is like Blockbuster video looking at the coming of Netflix. Parents don't need to buy their kids dedicated handheld gaming devices anymore when cellphones and tablets they already own can handle that.

With that in mind who does this appeal to? Core gamers are cool with consoles.

never forget @winb83 pre switch launch. Coli analysts yall.

130 MILLION plus units later and not a peep.
