Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced
null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 4 weeks agoI mean, historically it seems pretty in-line with Nintendo releases, adjusted for inflation: NES: $582 SNES: $480 N64: $410 GCN: $362 Wii: $399 WiiU: $419 Switch 1: $396 Switch 2: $449
It’s only ~$50 more than the Switch 1, and they just raised the price of the Switch 1 by $50.

I mean, to pretend the Switch 2 is identical to the Switch 1 is pretty ridiculous.

I’m not implying there aren’t any improvements this time around I just feel like the improvements and corner cutting cancel each other out but that’s just my opinion

That’s fine, all I’m saying is it’s not like it’s significantly more expensive or out of line price-wise historically.
More to the point, the article wasn’t talking about launch prices of consoles at all.

It’s the part where the Switch 1 hasn’t gone down in price that the article is talking about.
