  • I agree, but I can’t see them pricing the launch model of new gen lower than the current price of any of the gen models.

    Of course they could drop the price of the Switch one models to maintain a price ladder.

    But the inflation adjusted launch price of the Switch 1 in 2017 is equivalent to au$587.26 in 2024, so the Switch 2 looks like it would fit pretty nicely placed just above the current prices.


  • The OLED is currently retailing at au$540 here so I would expect the new one to round up to au$600.

    • It word place it under a PS5 digital (au$680) and Series X (au$800) positioning it as an affordable mainstream console.
    • It would leave the existing Switch 1 product lines competing with Series S (au$500) for the more budget conscious.
    • Of course the PS5 Pro (au$1200) is doing its own thing.









  • You’d have to sacrifice too much of a capacity to prevent it so it’s easier to just try no to go below 20% of charge.

    But that’s the thing, you are sacrificing the capacity its just that you are being asked to make that decision manually each and every time. They know how the drain/recharge cycles effect the battery so they could set the main/max cutoffs to optimum values.

    For SSDs we expect them to over provision the storage and consider the increased longevity a measurable benefit. I don’t see why batteries should be any different.
