Yeah, turns out $80 for a game will have people only buying must have games or in my case no games at all.
I don’t think that $80 price tag that’s causing this. There are no new retail games at this price currently other than Mario Kart and anyone interested got a bundle. Zelda rereleases make 0 sense to buy retail, I got a used copy of Switch release and Nintendo Online + or whatever it is called at half the price.
My local game store said demand for console is high; MKW bundle being the most popular. The demand for games, accessories and controllers is not high. I can't imagine that lack of demand to blamed on anything else other than pricing or uncertainty of the economy.
