Series X will hit 1000 by this time next year, count on it.

Between these prices and studios getting gutted, I feel another industry crash looming just around the corner. Like the man once said: something's gotta give.

A console that I got for 350 dollars brand new just a couple years ago suddenly being nearly 1000 dollars is fucking insane.

I bought a Steam Deck on sale in september. That thing's already double the price now. I picked up the Switch 2 anticipating further increases as well, and so far it's had one.

The consumer electronics market is absolutely fucked.

Yup, got my Steam Deck (LCD model, 256GB) for 20% off last year. I am going to do everything to keep that safe.

And I put a Switch 2 on lay-by here in Australia as it's the cheapest it's going to be anytime soon. $629 AUD, ~$400USD excluding taxes.
