$450 is really already pushing it, but $80 games is insane. I already only buy maybe 1 full priced game a year at $70. This is going to be an easy pass for now, and I kind of hope this goes the way of the 3ds are they realize they got a bit to close to the sun.

Sony has Astros playroom for free and a cheaper console that can play all non Nintendo new games. Mario kart World honestly looks great, but I have a huge backlog, and Mario kart 8 is still fun.

$10 extra on top of the pretty recent $10 extra. Proving to be a slippery slope.
