That made me feel better. I’m really glad now I upgraded my rx 570 when I did. |
Things went tits up when Crypto mining boomed and pandemic had people in a buying frenzy, be glad you have a good working (and decent) GPU lol.

That game ... 
I want to play it sooooo bad but it's not on the Switch. I thought the game looked very interesting ever since I picked up my Wii U, but I stopped using it by the time X released and eventually sold the console (stupid, I know).
Xenoblade X's soundtrack alone makes me want to play the game, even if it ends up not being very good.

Sounds like a gold rush, more people made money selling tools than in mining for the gold.

The Wii U is no longer in production and it didn't sell a lot so those prices make sense. But the same thing can't be said about the X1 and PS4 those prices are too high.

Older chips no longer drop in prices like they used to.
At Gamestop in store only you can buy a new 1 TB PS4 slim for $289.99 or a new 1TB XBox One S for the same price which is a bit more reasonable then the amazon prices. If older chips would drop in prices like they used to and there wouldn't be a global chip shortage both would be less then $229.99 new.
I kind of get why the Wii U is getting up there in price. There weren't tens of millions of them out there. Plus, there's only so many functioning gamepads left.
I can't fathom those prices for Xbox One and PS4 unless it was maybe the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.
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)
PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 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)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Interesting, I have a Wii U but no copy of the game to play on it... perhaps we could work something out :P |
I agree. You can send me your WiiU and he the Xenoblade and I keep and play them =p

I have a WiiU collecting dust. I keep thinking I'll fire up Kart sometime, but I never so. May as well get some cash for it.
