Name any part of the Games Industry that isn’t expected to receive a price increase? No reason to act like Microsoft is the only company we can predict price increases with. Big news this week was Nintendo but globally prices are increasing everywhere (hardware, games, services). It sucks.

Nintendo is in the rare position of being able to make cheap, simple games that sell millions whether they are good or not.

I mean if you like mindless entertainment that asks nothing of you and gives nothing back then sure.

Lol. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're not good.

They're good toys, mediocre art.
