All publishers want it. Nintendo is just going to try it first.

Here I can look at the Playstation and Xbox game stores and see games have crossed $100 dollars and a lot are in the $80-90 range, it all happened shorly after Sony made a push for the $70 standard years ago.

Not really. If you look at Steam, or the PS5 Store you'll see a ton of games currently available for $80-100+ right now. They just market them as the "premium" edition or whatever bullshit they want to go with - where you get the base game + pointless digital bonuses or battle passes. They do sell base versions for $70 or so, but these are not the first prices over $70 that we're seeing people pay.

These prices existed in the 90s LOL.

I get that and remember it. But I don’t think that necessarily holds relevance to the conversation being had which is firmly in our current era of game prices.

And those prices exist now as well... So...
