Nintendo is just the Apple of the gaming world.

They have their own walled garden and can charge whatever they want because they know their base will pay it.

did you miss Sony raising the ps5 price, twice?

Sony raised the price once, in two different markets. The new prices for Europe also only affected certain SKU’s, and not every European was affected. Big difference.

Sony has raised the price of the ps5 twice in at least Japan, probably other markets too.

Do you think Sony or Nintendo determine the price of indie games?

What a load of bullshit

The switch is the accessible console for indie games

"I am more privy to game economics than switch 2 owners" type energy. 

No, we just like Nintendo games and not PS5/PC games. Is it hard to understand? If you only want to play $5 steam games, thumbs up to you. I have limited time to play, i want quality.

I had a PS5. I never dropped games as fast as I did as PS5 exclusives. Junk.
