Sure $450 is a lot for Switch 2 but here is other other consoles adjusted for inflation:
Switch 2: $390
WiiU: $416
Wii: $395
Gamecube: $359
N64: $405
SNES: $453
NES: $532

Now if only pay increased with inflation we’d be comparing apples to apples.
@[email protected] oh yeah. Compared to buying power would be interesting for sure.
@[email protected] Now compare the average PC. Why buy a console that only runs games and not a PC that runs games and the rest of your life?
Is the first one supposed to just say Switch?
@[email protected] woops!
@[email protected] If you compare to things like the N64 and SNES, it’s worth noting that the Switch 2 is presumably not very powerful in terms of CPU or GPU compared to the Playstation or Xbox or many gaming computers (I guess we don’t know exactly yet?), since that isn’t something Nintendo has been priorizing for some time. Which is different for the market position some of those older consoles had.
Though it’s also a different form factor.
Hard to compare for various reasons.
@[email protected] I see what you mean but not sure I agree. Many things can drive the cost of a system.
@[email protected] i knew it!
I knew it!
I knew it!
Inflation!The console pricing isn’t the problem, I haven’t seen anyone complain about that.
@[email protected] i don’t know what that means.
Probably talking about $80 games
@[email protected] ah yeah. Though I’ve never put in old game prices in to inflation calculators and been happy about it.
Keep in mind that, back in the day, sales were also 100% physical to a much, much smaller audience.
With digital, they’ve cut out absolutely massive portions of the cost while also reaching 10-100x as many people basically for free.
