I didn't contradict myself. In my opinion, that game isn't worth $50. It doesn't matter if it sells 100 million copies at $50 each, that game will never be worth $50 to me. But you could say that it would be worth $50 to the Switch user base if that turned out to be the case, but that still won't ever compel me to spend $50 on it.

You're right, I don't determine what games and consoles are worth to other people. But, the same applies to you! Your entire thread is about shitting on people because you don't like that other people have determined that the switch console and/or 1-2 Switch aren't worth the price TO THEM. People are expressing their personal opinions about their thoughts and feelings, and you acting as if they're pretending to represent the entire video game market. They're not.

P.S. Pretty hilarious if you're chastizing everyone for not thinking 1-2 Switch is worth $50 if you're not willing to spend $50 on it yourself. But you're right, that was an assumption I made considering how you're going to bat for it.

That's a bold claim, and not just because I bolded it.

Most people have actually a hard time to separate their emotions from sales analyses. If you ask them about their reasoning for sales predictions, it often comes down to how they personally feel about games and consoles. That's why someone like barneystinson69 predicts that Switch will sell less than Wii U. Sales analyses also include the evaluation of value for individual games. I don't condemn people only for what happened in my two threads, what I call out is behavior that can be seen all across VGC sales discussions.

You shouldn't find it hilarious that I grant a game that I won't buy the benefit of the doubt. Am I supposed to declare any game that I won't buy to be overpriced? Because that would be the logical conclusion, if you are making fun of me because I am not going to buy 1-2-Switch.

"We need to give 1-2 Switch a chance guys! Until you play it, you can't possibly know if it's worth $50, so you shouldn't claim it's not worth it. Until you do, that game is totally worth $50, just not 50 of my dollars!"

Tell me almighty, how you possibly came to the conclusion that you're not willing to buy 1-2 Switch without playing it first? How come you haven't given it the benefit of the doubt?

Yes, any game that you're not willing to spend the asking price on is by definition overpriced to you. I was unwilling to purchase Rise of the Tomb Raider for $60 when it came out for PS4 considering it was a year-old game. So I waited for the price to come down to $30, and picked it up then. Therefore it was overpriced to me at $60, but not overpriced at $30. Was Rise of the Tomb Raider for PS4 overpriced at $60 in general? Considering sales of the game picked up heavily between black friday and christmas day while the game was selling for $30, it's a safe bet to say that yes, it probably was.

That's a wrap folks. Nothing further to see here.
