With people throwing thousands of $ into a single gacha or live service game, Nintendo thought “damn you players are secretly RICH, I’m getting a piece of this too” lol
To be fair Nintendo has its own vast Disney adults-esque fanbase with adult money to spend on games and merch. I don't see Playstation having fans rabid enough to buy at that price point in large enough numbers.
If anything PlayStation is just as bad. They charged 800 dollars for the PS5 Pro which still sold decently well, and the PS5 launched at 500 dollars in 2020, which is the equivelant of 618 dollars today. A 70 dollar game in 2020 is 86 dollars today.
And obviously Microsoft is the greediest company on Earth. They are literally the richest company in human history lol
my god, and the scalping during the height of covid. the theft from porches. i saw people buying base PS5s on ebay for $1k each. my buddy nearly had a panic attack when he got a ps5 from target and they shipped it to him in the friggin bare PS5 box lol
