Outside of $80 games, I really think the internet has gone way overboard in blaming Nintendo for industry-wide pricing issues: Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, accessories, and online gaming subscription service are still the cheapest of the big three (and it’s not even close in some instances). I agree with and fully support consumers who are angry with Nintendo raising their prices; but I find it rather obnoxious to blame all subsequent price hikes from other game devs on Nintendo’s recent hike, especially when Nintendo has been the most price-fixed and economical option even still to this point. Price hikes have been rampant these past 5y…have we just completely forgotten this fact? It’s not like price hikes were invented b/c Nintendo. They simply jumped into the arena.
…The precursor to this tangent: I saw a post on Insta from IGN reporting how XBSXS prices were going up, and the comment section was filled with people saying “Nintendo did this.†Me, being a Nintendo fan, is punching air lol. |
Actually the Dualsense is $74.99 while the Switch 2 Pro Controller is $84.99 Also the Xbox Controller is technically the cheapest at $59.99 |
ig i was thinking more of the premium controllers…though that’s a bit of an unfair comparison on my part. Yeah idk why Nintendo is so stingy with their accessories.
