Prices for Nintendo consoles and games were always at a Premium, so it doesn't surprise me a bit the prices keep increasing. I never expected to be an early adopter, so my plans to wait a bit haven't changed
However I believe the budgets people have for gaming are not progressing at the same pace as the price increases. Switch 2 is heading towards having a non-insignificant decrease in units sold, specially software, compared to Switch 1
I wonder if the industry is heading towards the state of the late 90s where gaming was just more expensive and prohibitive
At meantime, I will just restrict Switch 2 purchases to few key games that justify expending so much money, games I know will provide me enough hours of entertainment. I personally dislike this method of choice because will make me avoid smaller games and new IPs, but there's not much to do when exchange rates are fucking my currency lol
