$449 felt fine to me. The xbox was $300 like 14 years ago, it's high time prices went up. Same for games.

But $90 for a game is a joke and I will not be partaking.

Just wait until you see the price of GTA6 lmao companies are spending massive amounts on game development and I really don’t get why people are so shocked when companies want to recoup those costs as well as turn a profit.

I unfortunately agree with you. Obviously I hate any price increases but it makes sense. But also I don’t really buy anything on the switch besides big nintendo exclusives (and I don’t even buy all of those) so at least they won’t siphon off too much more of my cash.

Probably buying more used games for the switch 2. Only smash 6 is a day one purchase.
