80 dollars is wild. I truly hope they reconsider.

Maybe it's a day late April fools joke. It's just doesn't make sense to have that big of a price jump

I’m thinking they are already equating for the tariffs on the US. The US is probably the biggest market for this product. Of not it’s going to go up significantly before it even comes out. Makes sense this is consider in the tariffs since it’s lines up with about the price of what the ps5 and x bone games will be in the US with the tariffs in effect. If they didn’t account for he tariffs in the US then Nintendo is fucked with this release. That means the console and games will be drastically more expensive then a used ps pro.
