It should have been $399.99 MSRP from the start. That price was the logical next step for Nintendo's Economical Logistics in the consumer market's perception on Nintendo hardware price. The moment I saw Zelda TOTK on Switch 1 for $69.99 I knew they would increase prices.

Going to add had Mario Kart World not been a launch game. Had Switch 2 kept the format of 2 opinions: $399.99 MSRP Basic Model. $449.99 MSRP 12-Month Switch Online Expansion Pack. I would have had zero problem with spending $449.99.

it should be $5

icl im waiting a year to get it secondhand its just SO EXPENSIVE rn
