Why Nintendo Is More Expensive Than Ever Now | So Expensive | Business Insider

Nintendo has been a video game giant since the early 1980s. For about 15 years, big-budget Nintendo games cost $60. In fact, that was the standard game price across the industry. Meanwhile, Nintendo’s consoles are generally cheaper than most competing gaming systems, such as the Xbox and the PlayStation. Its consoles have never cost more than $300…until now. At $450, the Switch 2 is Nintendo’s priciest console.
