Message: [QUOTE="Dyne, post: 191090, member: 4520"] That video seems to be talking mainly about consoles, specifically how most people would buy them after price drops, and how price drops dont happen as much or dont go down nearly as much. It seems to ignore the fact that Switch 2 is a new system so talking about price cuts is premature and apples-to-oranges at this point. But THIS conversation was about games, I thought. And price drops happen MUCH more frequently especially on digital storefronts nowadays (excluding Nintendo's first party games, sure - granted). I typically wait to buy most of my games until they go on sale on Steam or some other digital store. I very frequently get games for 50-90% off. This really didn't happen in the pre-Gamestop era. And when it did they were used games. But I will grant you that the issue is more complicated than I was making it out to be. I was oversimplifying it a bit, but honestly the whole thing just feels like whining to me. Also, I did not understand your point about wages not increasing since the 90s. That is nowhere near true; minimum wage alone has like tripled and I know average household income has increased a lot too. Actual buying power maybe has not increased, but thats literally what inflation is -- more money for the same buying power. Am I misunderstanding what you were saying? [/QUOTE]
