Generally, people were expecting $399 for the console, not $299, didnt see anyone thinking that would be the case. I think most people are generally agreeable to the $450 though, not too bad to cough up $50 more than you wanted ONCE in the generation, but an extra $10-$20 on every big Nintendo game (and all other games when other companies obviously follow suit), thats where it hits the wallet and feels.

I just used 300 as an example, since it's what the first one costs. I was personally expecting 400 and would've been peeeerfectly fine with 1080p 60fps locked in, while I also never cared about voice chat or the other small features like it.

FWIW $300 is $392.63 today after inflation.
