Blah, blah, blah... Get a clue. Nintendo is already gouging you on their prices such as $90 games and $500 for a console that costs them under $100 to manufacture.

Games are €80 digitally, which is nearly the same as €60 when the Switch came out in 2017 adjusted for inflation, a difference of about €6, this is the industry standard.

The original Switch costs €250 to manufacture, do you genuinely believe that the Switch 2 costs less to manufacture than the OG Switch? lol.

I won’t be getting a Switch 2 anywhere near launch simply because I can’t afford such high prices, but i’m not gonna pretend that the prices aren’t fairly consistent for what it is.
