I watched part of the announcement video. People in chat on youtube are loosing their freaking minds. Literally impossible to read. And there is very little pomp to the presentation. They are a voiceover away from having a kid in a room just read pieces of paper introduce the next game video.

The pricing is absurd

I don't usually watch these kinds of things live, but I did this time. The video in the stream lagged behind the audio, and at one point the video just plain stopped working.

$450 is a tough sell when base PS5 without disc drive is $400, and XBSS is $300 and is probably still more powerful than Switch 2. But yeah I know, Switch 2 is portable.

And probably still won't look as good or run as well as the emulated versions of PC. Plus those emulated versions have mod support.

Yeah that's a tough pill to swallow price wise.
