If you look at the timeline of inflation in my original post - Austria's development of inflation rates is similar to a lot of other countries' - then you see that there wasn't an uptick until after 2020. That's why inflation doesn't quite work as justification for Sony hardware and software released in 2020.

The actual reasons for Sony's price hikes would be that the PS5 has better technology relative to its time of release than the PS4 had, and ever-increasing development costs and times for video games on the software side. But that's the typical gamer paradox: Always asking for better looking games, and always being surprised that that costs companies more money; costs which they then must pass on to the consumer in order to make things work.

Sony actually raised the price of the PS5 a few years ago. People argued about the macroeconomics of inflation back then. I even remember some arguments about the currency rate in other countries compared to the USD. All to justify the price hike. 

None of that went over well compared to this thread where at least half the users agree with inflation. 

Regardless, what does posters' reactions to the PS5 price hike have to do with Switch 2? This just comes off as console warring by pitching PS5 is a victim mentality. If those users that are complaining in that thread are now in this thread being hypocrites, then quote them. Right now you are just playing victim for PS5 with no receipts.

Sony fans failing to help you justify PS5's price hike has nothing to do with Switch 2 and appears you are in this thread playing victim for Sony as an excuse to troll Nintendo.
