Tell me how 60$ isn't sustainable.
They would probably still make a shit load of profit.
These price increases are just ridiculous.
If you just account for inflation, the games would cost around 75$ for physical games but wages don't grow with inflation so Nintendo will make even larger profits since they probably pay a shit wage to their workers so their development cost won't be that much higher than a few years ago.
Easy. Companies saw the cost of everything increase, so they increase the price of the product.
You’re just insisting prices shouldn’t change and that video games should be the exception from every other industry. Inflation isn’t a 1 to 1 math equation. Games are more expensive than ever to make, and the teams making them are more massive than ever. Games are also more global than ever, and the cost of marketing, advertising and distributing to more countries costs more. All This one top of the growth of games sale slowing.
I get you’re annoyed that things cost more. But you’re wrong that it shouldn’t be happening. It is what it is. It’s a part of life and how the luxury products industry works. There isn’t some great evil being committed here.
Honestly, people just expect things to stay the same price forever?
And its funny, because most of these people in 2 months will buy the Switch 2 anyway. I mean look at PS5, they raised game prices, people complained, and then guess what? People bought them anyway

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.
