For Switch: $300 from 2017 is $388 today.

For WiiU: $300 from 2012 is $415 today.

Don't get me wrong though, the economic outlook today is bleak, I don't disagree. And it seems a lot of people think it's too expensive and it is rightfully theirs to believe so. We all need to make the best financial decisions for ourselves. At the end of the day this is a luxury product.

Ultimately I think price will be the subject of the conversation up until and after release, and only one thing will change the conversation and that is if the games are good. If Mario Kart World and DK Bananza knock it out of the park, people will not be talking about price, they will be talking about how much you need to play these games.
