It's almost like we just had a pandemic, which resulted in disrupted supply lines and people with more time on their hands to play games. That thing wasn't in stock for months.

Dont be facetious

Nintendo LOVES to charge full price for as long as they goddamn can. Global health pandemic or not. Dont give them any excuses.

Had it ever dropped in price before the pandemic started? I know they rarely drop the price on their 1st-party games.

the official price in the US is $299.99 & $199.99 for the handheld version

the $400+ consoles you're seeing are individual sellers marking up the price because they know they can

This. Nintendo can't control if other people mark up prices because they can.

Just got a switch for my g/f recently. Got the regular version (not the lite) with AC and BOTW. Added on screen protector and carrying case. After tax it came out to exactly $500.

Since then I've purchased Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, Mario Party, and Pokemon Sword.

I'm probly around $800 all in at this point.

Edit: This was all purchased at Gamestop, not some reseller on Amazon.

Wouldn't buy one now that the price has ballooned. Save up for expensive next-gen coming in ~4 months.

It's either outsold the Xbox One or just about to. So that's all the explanation you need.

MtG is kinda bad with this. I wanted to get this one preconstructed deck last year because its MSRP was cheaper than just buying the two singles that were included in it, but they were sold out everywhere. And they were marked up online of course :/

Lol when did Nintendo become God to you and unworthy of criticism?

Theyre not better than Microsoft or Sony and both of those companies arent afraid to slash console prices and pass some savings on to consumers to get more adopters.

This is some next level shilling.

Demand has only been increasing to the point stock issues have been a thing for months.

Lowering the price would be asinine unless they can increase production capability by like 50%+.

Why sell it for less when you wouldnt even sell more units by doing so?

You got any people or things to follow that help with that? I have shoe people that do that with shoes.

Ive been wanting a new Xbox one and a week before I was going to I guess they discontinued them or some shit so I have no idea.

....but I havent looked in general in a solid month

Might as well just start saving for the Super Nintendo Switch, with Sony and MS new consoles coming out, Nintendo is probably ramping up production of their next gen console.

Zoolert.com is the site I used, it took me about 2-3 weeks but I finally got one, you have to be super quick when it is restocked. I got mine on Amazon neon red blue, but like I said alot of effort and some sleepless nights trying to get it.

they charge what people will pay. Its not even about their games or them as a company. They can charge what they want. People will pay this. So they thats what they cost. The end.
