Yup, which is exactly how Nintendo wants it. I feel like they've always had things that mitigated their BS "never lower the price of games, EVER" philosophy, most notably cheaper hardware than the competition and a lower price point for games ($60 rather than $70). Now they have a console that's almost as much as a PS5 AND are charging MORE than $70 for some of their games? Maybe the market can handle their excessive pricing, but I hope they get knocked down a peg.
