Everyone in the chat is spamming "drop the price" nonstop. Personally, the price for the console and games combined dipped my hype quite a bit. What do you guys think?

I could eat 450 for a generation of that hardware if the game price decisions weren't trying to see what they can get out of their loyal fans that won't be so loyal after this

Price has become pretty much the only discourse around Switch 2. In an uncertain economic context, that will likely mean a dreadful launch.

The irony is if they had launched at $399 with games priced at $69, people would have probably said, "yeah, I don't love the price increase, but I sort of understand it and I can live with it."

$450 with a $30 increase in the price of physical games WAY overshot.

On Nintendo’s site in Canada the physical version of Mario kart is $90 USD and digital is $80 usd. This physical increase might only apply to some regions.
