That’s a wild price point. You can get Series x for the same money, series s for practically half

Get into PS5 for cheaper, too. I can only assume the built for $350 and priced for tariffs, but if that were true you’d expect to see lower relative prices elsewhere. Hell, you can get into a real handheld PC gaming there if you’re patient.

I have zero interest in that product at that price. None.

Nintendo consoles for me are just for playing Nintendo games. So it’s all about the exclusives. For 3rd party I have so many other places to play.

And this is why they can keep the prices high for an inferior product

How? Xbox launched at 500(if you account for inflation it’s closer to 6) the PS5 also launched at the same price. Which again if you count for inflation is closer to 6. So this is coming in under those prices by quite a bit. This is a launch console price point.

Now if you were complaining about the cost of the game then yeah that would make sense because I don’t think Mario Kart has the same production cost as say Forza or Grand Tourismo.

The consoles price point is actually in line with how much the original switch cost(if you take into account inflation).
