I am priced out of gaming when I could afford to buy the once generational console before and now I can't. Games back in snes days went on discount earlier as well. So did consoles. Now consoles might increase in price over a generation instead of decrease, like the ps5. And currency is a matter of factor as well. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft nor others price their games according to the local currency unlike steam. $10 is huge in India for example. I get you all like to defend your favourite video game company and get all defensive, but I am not some rival video game fan or whatever in the team sports thing.

I have bought all the Nintendo consoles for generations. I can't buy switch 2. This is the reality of the situation.  You can do with it what you wish but you can't tell me something isn't there when it is there and its happening to me. 

What price did the original Switch sell for and what price is the Switch 2 selling for?

According to this site https://www.in2013dollars.com/india/inflation/2017?amount=300 the inflation in India means that 1 rupee in 2017 is equivalent to 1.49 rupees today, which is almost the exact rate that prices increased in the US ($300 to $450 is x1.5 increase). Unless Nintendo has increased the price of the Switch 2 more than 1.5 times, then they are just matching the rate of inflation.

If you've been price out of gaming that's likely due to a combination of wage stagnation and inflation, not Nintendo arbitrarily raising the price.

I was done with the thread but what the hell does india have to do with this?
