@Erivlt at least as far as the switch 2 goes, they raised the price of peripherals but not the console itself iirc. the main thing driving console prices up is the memory shortage.
my grandparents took my great grandmother on a cruise and then dropped her off at the nursing home without any of her things, then turned around and sold her house. we had to break into the house to grab some clothes to bring to her. her mental state rapidly declined after that and she died a little over a year later. but my dad got a car that was 20 years old and on its last legs. wow, so amazing.
