Damn thing is 8 year old As much as it's typical for systems to drop in price over time, the unfortunate reality of the last 8 years is that it simply hasn't gotten cheaper to make them. Covid and the crypto boom inflated the prices of electronic components quite dramatically, which has offset the price drops we'd usually see over such a period, and ongoing inflation issues and now tariffs mean the industry really hasn't been able to recover from that. I'm sure there's more than a little corporate greed factoring into it, but it also wouldn't surprise me if continuing to sell the Switch at its old price would be an actual loss for Nintendo now and not just less profit than they want. --- This is my signature.
