I watched the last three episodes of Pokemon XYZ and cried my eyes out, and probably have strep.

Neat! I haven't watched the anime since DP but I'm glad you enjoy it

I would watch the Sun/Moon anime if I wasn't afraid of getting bored with it quickly. There's some good and wholesome Lillie content to be found there

Nikkei says Switch will cost $250 in Japan

Quick reminder Nikkei always leaks correct details a few days before Nintendo officially confirms it.

Could be a different price elsewhere. Wii for example was only $200 in Japan but $250 everywhere else. In Japan it didn't have Wii sports as a pack in.

I honestly would be shocked if it wasn't $250 or $300. $200 is too cheap and $350 is too expensive for the marketplace. $250 - $300 is really the sweet spot, but I think $300 is only justified as a bundle or if they're actually using Pascal (which it doesn't look like they are)

That picture someone posted before of console prices was pretty interesting. Either they were charging way too much early on or they our catering to our irrational attachment to 200-300 dollars. Same with games costing 60 dollars. Accounting for inflation, they should be about 90 dollars now.

Do you mean enthusiast or the common man? If the internals are so cheap that its only $200 I will certainly not be ordering it this coming Thursday. As an "enthusiast" I don't buy things just because they are cheap and exist. I buy them because they provide me with what I need. Buying things just because they are cheap sounds more like the average consumer.

Yeah the amount of additional chips in a cart could affect the price. Big rpgs had battery saves, extra ram, etc

at least you didn't wrote a book about how Mario 3 in the wizard was on par with the JFK assassination on how big of a life changing event it was.

Sometimes it didn't even need to have that, Capcom charged a premium for Street Fighter 2 just because if how popular it was.
