Needlessly absolute take. Yes, there's going to be parents, who'd rather pay extra than look into what other games they could give their kid, as well as loyal Mario fans, who will pay pretty much any price. But there's obviously also players who do weigh up their options based on price, and who will make different decisions when they have to decide between two titles, when one of them is cheaper. Especially with the additional invest for a new console and the more dire economic situation, I could see many players not buying into the Switch 2 at all.

If I was a sociopathic ceo I would release an update for the Switch 1 that bricks it.

If I have to pay $80 for Kirby Air Ride 2, I will pay $80 for Kirby Air Ride 2. I have waited 22 years for this game, there's never been anything else like it.

I can just play one of the many other very good jump'n'run games that do not cost that much money.

Unless a game is on a qualitative excellent level, as BotW and TotK were, I'm not paying 80 bucks for it.
