@archbrix @Fight-the-Streets $300 in 2017 would be the equivalent of almost $400 today (about $386), so if the Switch would technically cost $400 basically in today's dollars, it's not unreasonable to expect a successor to be $450-$500. The PS5 has no problems keeping close to the PS4's sales trajectory despite the much higher price (and severe supply constraints early on).

The PS5 is cutting edge though and benefits from the failure of the new Xbox lines. ALso over half od PS players still on the PS4, which suggests many can't afford the upgrade.

Nintendo still need to be seen as value friendly or they tend to sell not to well (The N64 for example). We must also consider inflation crisis means many people have less spending money than 2017.
