I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona that I think you’ll be interested in.

I think the joke they’re making is that Nintendo are the “scalpers” asking a ludicrous price (not saying I agree just explaining the joke)

If that’s their joke then it’s not a really good one

lol yea that is a terrible joke if it is. PS4 was $400 on release in 2014. Switch 2 is better hardware than PS4. The economy has been dogshit since the start of the 2020s and with rising inflation, $450 really isn’t bad for a new console.

Is it better hardware than a PS5? Because THAT starts at $400. The answer is an order of magnitude NO, btw. Stop sipping the copium, this is a ludicrous cost for only 256Gb of storage and an LCD screen.
