We'll be at the tail end of the RAM/NAND crunch by then, so I'd be leaning toward cheaper, but who knows the full impact of the new oil shock?

Your kidney.

My guess: $599

They altered the deal and customers should be thankful, if they don't alter it any further.

I think they did a big price hike to future proof the price. I don't see it probable that it goes up again, and if it does, I don't think it will be more than $599 by January 2028.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

Yeah i think $599 will be the price of the digital bundled with GTA 6 later this year.  I think that would explain so much but I hope it doesn't mean GTA 6 is going to cost $100.  I think this bundle will persist for some time but by Jan 2028, the digital console will be 499.
