Anyway I know this is a celebration thread for the new console so I'll see myself out. RIGHT??????!!!??? Even the console tutorial demo (which was free for the ps5) is for sale

MattieB Posted April 25 Posted April 25 They literally dedicated a button on the controller that only works after you pay. Re: Nintendo chat And you in here defending such seedy business practices Their games literally never even go on sale, they will repackage the same ******* game from previous gens, do nothing with it and mark it higher on new consoles. PLEASE 2
Eternium Posted April 25 Author Posted April 25 5 hours ago, MattieB said: How does that negate what i said, quickly! It puts into context that people realized that the price with inflation over time is still reasonable. It sucks that inflation exists, but I want to hear you explain how you expected the Switch 2 to cost $300 ($91 less than the original Switch in today's market despite massive performance updates) and games to cost $60 ($20 less than Switch 1 games at launch). Like it's just not practical. I'd love to buy the Switch 2 for $10 and get all the games I want for $2 each, but at a certain point you have to be realistic. 5 hours ago, Onyxmage said: Not you doubling down and justifying Nintendo's scummy pricing practices for a second time. Nintendo fans truly are something else. "Scummy price practices" Girl, wtf did you expect? In 2017, Switch launched at $299 with $60 games. That's $391 today and $78+ games. Buying an average Switch 2 game is cheaper than buying a Switch game at launch. Nintendo is already selling Switch 2 at a $50 loss and it's only $50 more than the Switch 1 with cheaper games. What was the price you were expecting? PS5 launched at $612 with a digital-only version at $489. XSX launched at $612 and the XSS at $367. Did you have any problems with that? 5 hours ago, MattieB said: They literally dedicated a button on the controller that only works after you pay.

PLEASE And when you sell them, even if it's years later, you get at least 80% of your investment back. But when you buy a Sony/Microsoft/Square Enix game, it loses 90% of its value in two months. On top of that, Nintendo is at least fighting somewhat against the digital-code-in-box trend and making developers include game key cards so you can sell that back. Name another company that is actively fighting digital. Having a button to access a chat feature that is part of the online subscription has been standard practice for years. Are you mad that other consoles offer this?
Heldenzeit Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Ew, nooo! Yall are to blame for 90$ becoming the new norm for AAA games.
SlimyGhoul Posted April 25 Posted April 25 OMG this is insane!! Back in the Wii U era we prayed for times like this...and not me having TWO preorders secured!!!

gagacasanova Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Well after the hellacious process for most of us to get one - I expect it to smash.

Donkey Kong Bananza (2025) - $69.99 Super Mario Odyssey (2017) - $59.99 in 2017, $78.27 in 2025 Switch 2 games are cheaper than Switch 1 games. Cost of living and production has risen extensively so it's genuinely a miracle that PS5, Switch 2 and XSX games are literally cheaper at launch than PS4, Switch and X1 games.
