What you’re saying clearly makes sense and I hadn’t thought about the fact that the videogames market had grown so much.

Still I also think it’s important to take into account that 80$ in 1999 isn’t 80$ in 2025.

I’m clearly not rooting to get more expensive games, but I want everything to be taken into account.

Anyway, I ain’t gonna buy any Nintendo console when how little my kids have used the Switch compared with the Playstation.
