The Nintendo Switch 2 will be the last video game console – Reader’s Feature A reader thinks that the era of video games consoles is coming to an end and that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be the last bastion of the concept.
A lot of new games are probably going to be cross-gen too so I would imagine that there’ll be lots of lower budget Switch 2 games, from both Nintendo and others, that will also work on the original console, of which there are 150 million in the world.
People argue about Xbox exclusives on PlayStation, but every exclusive bar Nintendo is already on PC, to the point where Helldivers 2 is the fastest-selling Sony game ever and yet most of its players are on PC and not console.
Games already take too much money and too much time to make and the idea of making things even worse by releasing an even more expensive console is madness.
It will still be more expensive to make games for than the first Switch, but the PlayStation 4 was before things went stupid in terms of costs so it should still be manageable.
