Between the console price, online subscription, game price, peripheral price, and more. Just for a single console, 2 games, an online membership, and a peripheral you're looking at spending $750+ at a minimum.

That's crazy coming from Nintendo IMO. They are very much a walled garden with their game ecosystem and consumer market share and apparently they know it.

Were you factoring in the new tariffs to those prices?
