These post Covid years stink. Every week I do groceries the bill goes up again. It's 30% more now since before the pandemic, where I would first spend avg $200 a week on groceries, it's now avg $260 :( Gas some weeks is now up to 1.70 a liter, was down to 70 cents a liter in the pandemic.
Consoles have always been able to beat inflation with cost reduction, but as MS has stated, there is little to no cost reduction to be had anymore. And with the Yen falling against the Yuan as well, manufacturing only got more expensive :/
