I’m not saying it will never happen but just wait and see where we are in like 5 years. People are acting like they’ll be able to play the new Mario Kart on their computer this time next year

Who knows what kind of nasty DRM they’ve got running this time around even if people can find a way to hack the console and dump games

I’m just saying that sort of pricing is beyond “kid’s toy.” It’s a lot to ask a parent to spend

Yeah but video games have always been a big ask.

$171 (in 2025 money) for a SNES game in 1991.

$467.25 (in 2025 money) for the SNES console; although that included a game.

It just seems fucked because they got cheap for a while. Really the problem is inflation - what I do agree on is that Nintendo is gonna see a slowdown if they can’t offer some relief.
