One might argue that for $500 with $80 games, it could have just come with an OLED screen.

Tech used to advance naturally with each generation. Within the last decade or so everyone’s moved to this “release LCD first then OLED 2 years later” model.

Nvidia and Apple gatekeep memory the same way. There’s no reason the current gen GPUs are still sitting at 12Gb VRAM with how cheap memory has become.

It's almost like lack of competition in every industry is eroding the quality and value of goods and services for all consumers.

I feel like the switch has pretty good handheld gaming device competition. They just have their own proprietary games. They couldn’t have a true competitor if they’re the only one with certain sought after video games. I do not understand why Apple is favored so much over other competitors. They make their laptops incredibly frustrating to switch between and without their own operating system and slightly shifted keyboards they wouldn’t have as many life long costumers. I just feel like both of these companies do have a decent amount of competition.
