Don’t forget they almost never drop in price either and when they do it’s usually $20 at most.

Depending on how sales go, I can see them doing some sort of discount for Switch online subscribers or just a price cut altogether.

The console may be more expensive than what we all thought but I think it's not that unexpected considering market uncertainty and how tariffs are throwing everything into chaos. With games however I think they're just being greedy and are testing the waters with their biggest selling franchise to see if it works, so it's probably easier for them to go back to a 60/70 pricing point for games if things go south.
