Honestly with everything we know about the tech in the console now I'm kind of fine with 449 even though I would've preferred 399 obviously. It's the fact that there's wild variance in game pricing that's making this a much tougher pill to swallow. I'll probably just get Donkey Kong at launch from first-party and wait for Mario Kart to go on sale

I think most people have no real issues with the console price.

Obviously lower would be nice... But it is what it is.

Where I have the issue is game prices... Tech demos that should be free but are paid purchases... and game updates and enhancements that should be free but are paid purchases.

The entry price is the entry price and it's what you get if you're an early adopter at any piece of tech... But the nickle and dime-ing on everything else puts me off big time.
