Back then the market wasn't so large that's why they were more expensive, more consumers menat lower prices. Now they just want to push the boundaries and make more money, idk how people can defend large companies like Nintendo at all.

The markets growing is why games haven’t gone up in price for 20 years. That growth is slowing down and the 60$ is no longer sustainable.

Also, it doesn’t matter anyway because if people will pay more for a product, that’s what the product costs.

Can you show me that the $60 is unsustainable for Nintendo, super giant multi billion dollar corporation?

u/TheBigness333 20h ago

No. I explained why the industry is shifting its prices. Just reread my post if you need the information again.

And your explanation is faulty. Does Nintendo need to raise its prices? Did the staff suddenly stop getting paid?

Yes. They need to AND want to. Because they’re a business. Their entire existence is to make money, not give cheap toys to people whining on the internet.

They have an obligation to their business and to grow their market and brand, lest they stagnate and decline. That’s what businesses HAVE to do to survive. They aren’t worried about NEETs and their inability to not spend $20 extra on games they can’t stop themselves from buying.

They don't need to, but they do want to. Are they not making billions right now?

Do you want to have a conversation or are you just here to troll and ignore the point?

u/TheBigness333 17h ago

its both. they're a business so they want more revenue. Countless luxury products have massive profit margins.

Being rich doesn't obligate them to give you cheap products. Lamborghini's net worth is in the billions, that doesn't mean they own you cheap luxury vehicles. Sony is worth 150 billion. They aren't obligated to sell you cheaper anything.

Do you want to have a conversation or are you just here to troll and ignore the point?

Asking this makes you more of a troll than me. You pretending to not get the most simple and basic concepts of business and finance makes you a troll. The fact that you're getting smug that you have to pay $20 extra for a toy makes you a troll.

So you think that companies should not give raises to their employees to combat inflation? Because that's what you're saying lmao.

Sounds to me like they are. You're the one that sounds like you don't understand basic global economics.

Where did I say that? Go ahead and show me.

Is this you? lmao. You're delusional and don't understand global economics. It's hypocritical for gamers to get so upset about nintedo when EVERY other company is screwing you over 100x worse, but suddenly Nintendo is the evil company.

Look, you can be pissed about nintendos prices increasing, but you all need to put that much energy is complaining about other things. And no don't tell me you do, because the entirety of reddit is complaining about this issue. Go complain about your costs of eggs instead please.

Now show where I said they shouldn't get raises. Come on, go ahead.

If anything, the fact that they got raises supports my point more than yours lol. They could afford it, can they suddenly not?
