Price increases for consoles a trend? They're certainly no longer getting discounts over time. $100+ Price increases at the end life seems crazy.

Never thought I'd see the day when being an early adopter would almost save money.

Like GPUs, if dorks are dumb enough to buy them at the inflated prices, manufacturers are going to keep charging higher prices.

I guess Nintendo isn't one to gloat, because it's also the fastest selling console of all-time.

Further cementing that I cannot forecast anything effectively. I was sure the price would scare people off. I acknowledged I'm a cheap person, but still felt that number was crazy. Those are great numbers for the industry in general.
