We pull apart the new price era of gaming—from Nintendo’s $450 Switch 2 and $80 games to Sony’s storage trade‑offs and Xbox’s $800 special edition—and weigh what’s market pressure versus corporate choice. We also green‑light Wolverine’s trailer, celebrate Demon Slayer’s box office surge, and share how to vote with your wallet when hype meets high prices.
• Switch 2 pricing backlash and $80 software
• Membership requirements hidden in “retro” value
• Accessory inflation across Joy‑Cons and peripherals
• Sony price hikes, PS5 Slim storage reduction
• Xbox console increases and retailer retreat
• Why wallet‑based protests work best
• Wolverine trailer impressions and 2026 window
• Racing gear, steering wheels, and smart buying
• God of War series timeline and expectations
• Demon Slayer’s sell‑out momentum
