   @lykanthrocide don't expect too much of a drop, Nintendo managed somehow to be in the best market position is possibly could
   -Selling out of their games, which they had to during the Wii U because of financial issues
   -Keeping the prices high
   
   However if the Switch 2 is backward compatible, I expect them to start making Switch 1 discount labels
   
   I wouldn't expect the Play-Asia import games to go down tho'

     I don't see any reason for them to not make their next console backwards compatible with the Switch lol. I mean they have their subscription service and account system and everything.

     @diurnalfreak666 @kroner @lykanthrocide A lot of the "leaks", leaks (actual manufacturer infos telling or hinting) and predictions regarding chips and such are predicting backward compatibility due to similar cpu and such. At worse they'd need a GPU translation layer, but even there, if it's anything like the Steam Deck or even stronger, it can outright emulate the Switch

     @coolboymew

     I would be shocked if full backwards compatibility weren’t included. It’s ARM based and uses an OS that will be just as good on improved hardware. that’s not an accident
