#92Never buy a switch later. Nintendo prices don't fall and if, it takes ages.

FWIW, a significant part of the enjoyment in gaming for me is the community aspects of talking about the latest popular game. Unfortunately, that means that while games on the previous cycle's console are often still good, they innately lack one of the biggest parts of gaming as a hobby for me.

Thus it is hard to feel the need to be talking about the latest popular game.

#99Has this ever happened before?
PlayStation 5 has a price increase in August, 2022. I think this was the very first time this happened. Xbox Series X had one in June, 2023. Nintendo Switch (original) had a price increase last year. I don't remember this ever happening before the 2020s unless it was due to retailer shortages or markups.

#100The value of the yen compared to other currencies has fallen through the floor since 2022, so this isn't unexpected - Nintendo had to do something to equalize prices somewhat. The dollar's global value has also weakened noticeably since (checks notes) April 2, 2025 and Canada has had currency struggles as well the last few years.
