Just a friendly reminder that in today's dollars, the PS3 would be $950 (inflation factored in).

$450 for a Switch 2 isn't that outrageous. $450-$500 isn't child friendly perhaps, but times change, Nintendo's audience is primarily adults with a lot more disposable income. 

Yeah, people are forgetting about inflation. I posted this last September. 

Multiply those numbers by 1.03 and you'll get roughly June 2025 prices. That'd put the original Switch at $398. 

And I think Nintendo went a bit better on the R&D this round, providing a much more polished product than in their past three iterations. 

We're looking at a Switch 2 that is 13% more expensive than the Switch 1 and 7% more expensive than the Wii U base model (Switch 2 is, cheaper than, roughly 90% of the price of the Wii U deluxe model.)
