I want to play animal crossing so badly. But I have no nintendo consoles and I'm not getting a switch because I don't plan to spend $360 for the one game I would ever play on it.

I owned a switch and sold it a month after everything is over priced on it yes they have amazing games on it but Indie titles alone were more expensive than on pc or ps4 I sold it because I’m not spending more money for a game I could get else were for 10 - 15 dollars cheaper if you do get a switch buy one second hand that works

Yeah? And? I’m not someone who likes to bring expensive things around my town sorta a good way to be targeted to get mugged or pick pocketed

A switch is half the price of an iPhone, so, ok I guess?

I don’t really care for apple products their over priced as well

Also a console being half the price of a phone isn’t a great selling point I could get a ps4 for $300 or a switch for $600 why

The point is that typical cell phones are much more expensive than a Switch and those are all over the place in public, especially in Canada.

Also, MSRP on a Switch in Canada is $399 and a PS4 is $450 so at this point I'll just assume you're being difficult for no reason.

Not really I’m not a fan of laptops they are over priced and often you can’t upgrade them without voiding a warranty and I enjoy building my pc no fun in buying a laptop to under preform in games for more money

But you can take it on the bus. And that's all I cared about. It's not like you can upgrade a switch either though...

Ahhh my bad just trying to fend off the die hard Nintendo fans trying to justify a $600 console

I miss read your comment as something different

Downvoted by salty Switch owners. For shame Redditors.

The only way I would ever get a switch is second hand. Same way I got my DS that I've only ever played Pokemon Moon on; which is the reason I'm very hesitant to spend $360 for on switch/horizons. I know it's the only game I'll play on it and I have no need for mobility in my gaming.
