NewsWe discuss price increases on Xbox and Switch.Questions

Princess_Megan: What are your thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2? Including system capabilities, games, and price when compared to not only the original, but also other consoles?

DA VINSTER (Vinny): Crazy to see where we were gaming-wise from the beginning of Byte Me to now. Console gaming has gotten more pricey, games are getting more expensive, etc. What are your overall thoughts on console prices going up, game prices going up, and have your gaming habits changed at all since then? I know a few people who are moving over to PC gaming since.

Rich Deacon:

Will you buy the new switch, now, later, or never?
