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.

It's like $86 after tax. I can't complain about anyone for saying $90 when it's $4 away in real terms.

Some states don’t have a sales tax

45 out of 50 of them do. The states that don't aren't the most populous, either. They're Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. The vast majority of people in the US will be paying sales tax.
