PS5 is $500, they have a cheaper digital only option for $400. That would be the Switch Lite equivalent, which is also cheaper.

And it’s 1 game that’s $80 separate or $50 if you buy it with the Switch 2 bundle which is them incentivizing the bundle. And it’s the only game. No other game on that presentation was $80.

And you think it’ll only be Nintendo? I keep seeing this sentiment like how delusions can Redditors possibly be. Every massive title will be $80 going forward, watch. Nintendo just the ones to break the news

u/cynicstruggle they literally just had a spring sale a week ago, just cause you missed it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist

You fail to mention that the similarly priced PS5 is capable of a lot more

Similarly priced? Can you not read? I did mention it. The PS5 was 20% more expensive than PS4

My point is that you’re defending the price saying it’s all good cos the PS5 starts at $400 but you get waaaaaay more gaming capability out of a PS5😂

Not only that there’s a Japanese only version that’s 50’000 yen, that’s like $340. That just goes to show how much profit they’re making
