I haven’t owned a Nintendo console for many years now because I kept waiting for the cost to go down (it never has).
Comment on Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing?

The PC side of this is not all that bad, outside of EA and Ubisoft.
Meanwhile, Nintendo doesn’t even have sales. Games that launched with the switch are still $60-70.

Yes, because the only people buying Nintendo Switch games are the ones who don’t care about the price in the first place. If you want to save money on switch games you just pirate them

Nintendo does have sales from time to time, they’re just rarely great discounts. If you have a switch and you wishlist games they will email you if your wishlisted game goes on sale.

Nintendo in my experience:
Physical: Get it right on release day (or in the first week after) in retail for about 40€, otherwise you will have to rely on rare good retail discounts to get it below 55€
Digital: Don’t you even dare to think about discounts

I don’t know how to feel about Nintendo pricing. On one hand, all of their games keep their value long after release, but that also means they are hard to get cheaply. I know when I sold my 8 3DS games a few years ago, I made about 230 eur which was pretty good for some used games. I dont play their games anymore but I’m not sure I’d even want to now since they never drop in price.
