I get the MSRP outrage, but I mean it’s not an unusual cost for launch day titles, especially for physical media.
I don’t think I’ve ever paid full retail for any game or console I’ve ever owned though. And I do like to own my games by buying physical media (or at least the installer files).
The other publishers were all eagerly waiting for gta6 to take the blame for the price increase. Nintendo just doesn’t care about that and weren’t gonna wait for a third party before announcing their new prices.
All it takes is for a major corporation to pull the trigger. Since Nintendo is willing to take that step, other companies are going to be observing to see if it’s worth the temporary backlash.
Let’s not pretend every publisher isn’t planning on doing this. Nintendo just happens to be the first here.

Which game has been launched at 90 bucks before?
Thing is that they even do this shady thing now where retails is 10 bucks more than the digital version.
I genuinely thought GTA6 was gonna beat them to the punch.
