I see what you're saying but consider Nintendo does not control wages.

But they do control their own prices and have access to wage statistics.

Okay but they also have to pay their workers a fair wage.

As of 2023 their net income is only a ~3 billion and their total assets were ~22 billion which when you own a multinational technology company isn't that much.

Financially (market cap) they're smaller than Texas Instruments or Home Depot, much more at the whims of the market than at the helm of it.

with current inflation and their profit margins for previous gen they would make a loss on each unit sold

And they'll make billions with $80 games. People will buy them, when there are thousands of other games on the market. So, clearly either $80 isn't as big a deal as we're making of it, or there's something special about Nintendo games that merits a higher price.

then they'll sue because someone has a jump mechanic that looks too much like the one used in mario so they can get more money
