We always get shafted over here. Prices that are not converted properly even when the euro is strong,games that are never released when they are in Japan & the US, or years later, black & white manuals when they are/were in full color in the US/JP version of the game, no 60Hz option back then on older systems (or very late in the PS2 system's life, and seldom implemented), plain generic white & black design on the side of PS2 games when the US/JP cases had custom designs, crap smudgy graphics during the NES era compared to the visual quality Japanese & American gamers were enjoying, etc.

I see these practices haven't changed much. Since Nintendo is at it again giving the europeans the short end of the stick, here's hoping the europeans will turn it back to nintendo by ordering their Mini NES from abroad.

well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.

so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them

Abriael20h ago

Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.

Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.

I don't think it's so much Thanksgiving, but that Black Friday is the day after.

darthv7210h ago(Edited 10h ago)

That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.

Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.

I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.

Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.

Hopefully this leads to a price drop for the Ally X, because if the claimed 10–20% performance boost is accurate, it’s hardly a game-changer. Unless it takes the Ally X price, making the latter take over the normal Ally spot.

wow... with the grips on it, makes it look similar to my switch with nyxi cons attached.

I'm not following you on instagram to see it, Steve.

darthv721d 9h ago

Sorry, didnt remember my account was private. I have tried imgur before and it would never take.

How about this one: https://scontent-lax3-1.xx....

darthv721d 7h ago

they could have at least wiped it down before taking the pics. All those fingerprints on the touch screen...

Im curious about the two different CPU types. Are we looking as a Series X|S situation again?

RaidenBlack1d 5h ago

FYI, this is not the bespoke Xbox handheld that'd be part of Xbox's next-gen console lineup of 2027.
This, Project Keenan, is supposedly just collab with Asus to produce an Xbox branded Ally 2.
imho, it'll just be a portable PC i.e like Ally or Deck with some Xbox specific features, like a shortcut button.

Obscure_Observer16h ago

Yeah.

It´s cool and all but I rather wait for the upcoming official Xbox handheld instead.
