Getting angry seems silly. The hardware (and software) is always overpriced, especially at launch. Just wait a few months or a year and you'll get it on discount. Marketing always pushes FOMO (fear of
 missing out) to make you think you Must Get It Now!!!! when the prices are high, but --especially nowadays-- there's no reason to rush. It's not like in the late 90s/early 2000s, when some games might literally have a shelf-life of only a few months before disappearing forever*. Today, you can buy games from decades ago
with as much ease (possibly more, even!) as the newest titles

Money (as in my income) is not the problem. It's the bullshit they are
spewing to justify it, and the risk of other companies raising the
prices too, and suddenly 90€ is the standard. And when that happens, the
sale price is also higher. And Shitendo's evergreening practices. They
need a bloody lesson that teaches them a bit of humility again. Like
when they had to lower the price of 3DS because they got to greedy and
it blew up on their faces. Ever since Nintendo Europe and Nintendo NA
are little more than figureheads and Nintendo japan is making all the
decissions, it's fucking shit.
I swear, if it wasn't for a certain first party title that can't be
played emulated or pirated due to being an online GaaS and matters to
me, i would not even think about Nintendo. I have a Steam Deck with no
walled market thanks to Linux and Lutris, a PC that has no specs issues
because 99% of what I play is indies, and a Pentium with a bitching
MONSTER 3DFX.
