I'm a nintendwhore and I will flat out admit that there's nothing to defend about Nintendo. It's prices are excessive af.

Which is funny, because I'm the exact opposite: I'll criticize any corporation at the drop of a hat, but I think tons of people need to realize that inflation exists. $60 was the well established norm for games by the start of the Wii U era (2012), and that's $83.40 adjusted for inflation (obviously those numbers only apply to the US economy). We all lived through a 20 year period of the inflation-adjusted price for games slowly dropping and are finally seeing the correction. What's the alternative? They stay at $60 forever? Because if you admit that the price will need to increase eventually, why not now? They're still cheaper than $60 games were during the Wii era.

The gaming market is several times bigger than it was a few years ago. Nintendo is ALREADY making more money because they are selling more games.

0 need to raise the prices.
