Lol. They show the Switch here… Those greedy assholes never lower the price of that console. Fuck Nintendo.

It’s almost like it’s a running theme…
OG Xbox - never gets a price cut and is discontinued almost immediately after 360 releases, with an AMD GPU from which MS never looked back at nVidia
PS3 - Only got small price cuts very late, discontinued almost immediately after PS4 release, with an AMD GPU from which Sony never looked back at nVidia
Switch - never got a real price cut either (though Switch2 is also an nVidia SoC)

The OG Xbox got cut down to at least $150 from $300. My memory tells me that every console of that era was eventually cut to $100, but I found $150 with a very quick search. The PS3 slim was cut down to at least $300 from an entry price of $500. I don’t know how you call that small.
