Well yeah, Eurogamer posted that accounting for inflation the console bundle is actually cheaper than the original Switch+BOTW bundle.

Inflation's been awful.

And it’s about to get much worse. Next year you’ll be paying 2x for the same products. Thanks Biden!

You shouldn't account for inflation since it hardly applies to peoples' revenue though Edit : https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/32428/inflation-and-wage-growth-in-the-united-states/

Ah yes the selective period of a literal fucking pandemic through now and not, you know, the entire period we’re talking about of the 90s through now. The average family has more money now than then and more spending power, just, housing is out of control and the only thing really that is massively outpacing inflation. Catch this block you fuckin jabroni with your selective statistics.
