You forgot jacked the price on games up because reasons

Eh, the MSRP isn't a big worry for me, that makes sense

What sucks about PlayStation pricing is they keep MSRP except for sales for way too long.

Like, I saw last year's Madden for $12 and almost got it, then it went off sale and back to $70 like a new one isn't coming out in a few months.

Rather than off sale prices slowly going down

See, but this doesn't really hurt Nintendo's sales. The problem is there just really are no games on PS5 worth playing that you can't play somewhere else.

Eh, games have been $50-60 for literal decades, despite inflation and the massive increase in expected content. Everything else I can get behind, but games should be more expensive than they were.

Hard disagree. Games are substantially more profitable than they've ever been. The user base has gone up massively and manufacturing costs have gone down with the digital era.

Even when they raise the prices, they don't get rid of the battle passes and DLCs.
