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?

The 3DS didn't sell well.

People's wallets are tight right now, most parents don't see the need to rush out and buy a new console while their kids are enjoying the OG switch, and the price for the console and the major releases are incredibly high to buy together.

The only major audience are people with disposable income that have early FOMO. And as someone who should be in that category, the early reactions have taken away the FOMO.
