did it… did it actually go up, or did the price go up but sales per unit actually declined.
I’m seeing laptops that I used to be able to buy for 1400, now cost 2500-3000… nothing different about them but absurd prices…

Mat Piscatella of Circana will frequently state what drove the growth. A lot of times in the past year, it has been higher dollar sales from fewer units sold. In this case, it seemed to be a huge influx of people hoping to get a PS5 before price increases, as well as genuine system sellers for Switch 2 and PS5 by way of Pokemon Pokopia and Crimson Desert, respectively.
