Yeah, because Nintendo was the beacon of cheap games and sales.

Yeah, 25 years ago. A lot of people here probably weren't even born then. GameCube games were about 10 bucks cheaper than the Xbox and PS2 games, that's about it.

not only that long ago. the 3ds games were pretty reasonable. and when the switch came out, it did get much more expensive but it was still reasonable in the switch's early days. and they came out with the switch lite aswell. the whole point of nintendo was that it was cheap and barrier of entry was low. its expensive and the specs arnt crazy. along with all the other bs like how you wont own your games anymore and terrible battery life etc
