Same as PS4 in early 2017, $299, but PS4 launched late 2013 for $399.

You don't think Nin could've charged more at launch? You think Nin was worried about potentially weak sales initially?

$300 in 2017 dollars is $391 today, so Switch 2 is really not much more expensive adjusting for inflation.

$391 vs $449 isn't much difference in today's economy? Why not $399 then if Nin were so focused on keeping in line with inflation?
