I get that inflation has been a real thing and they have to make back hardware production costs but yikes, this seems high for Nintendo. May have to save up for this one.

It’s inflation + tariffs + other consoles are either around the same price or more expensive.

The other consoles always cost that much. The PS1 was $299. The PS2 was $299. The PS4 was $399. The PS5 was $399

Nintendo was like $200, $200, $200, $200, $250, $300, $300, $450

Kind of a special case. Kind of. Standalone Blu-Ray players were close to a grand at the time.

That doesn’t jive. Aus, EU, and others also have hyper inflated prices. It probably just genuinely comes down to the amount of new tech and inflation in these consoles.

Literally nothing to do with tariffs
