Futurology Today

I get it, prices of games going up sucks but games rose to about $60 (cad) during the wii era. Put that into an inflation calculator and you end up with about $90 nowadays, it's not really a price hike out of line with general inflation. The switch 2 pricing isn't out of line with AAA PS5 games either ($80 for a digital copy has already been the case for a while there).

Games are not free to make and modern games have longer dev cycles and therefore cost more to make as well.

Consoles are also typically sold at a loss with the idea that software sales will make up for the loss. Were games to remain the same price the console would likely be significantly more expensive.

I get that consumer purchasing power is down due to wages not keeping up with inflation but sadly the reality is that if making a console and games for it are unprofitable then they'll stop making them.
