Especially tears of the kingdom.

If you want tears of the kingdom it is cheaper to buy the “old version” second hand OR new and get the $10 upgrade. Please don’t be buying this

    Assuming you are serious, this is a bit of exaggeration, but when compared to other games, you can say that. Their digital games go for about 30% sale at max, but that is also very rare. Though some games have more sales than others.

    Physical on the other hands have different amount of sales, depending on retailers.

    This is only for their first party games though, third party games regularly go on sale, and generally have similar (but not always same) pricing as other consoles.

        It’s exaggerated alright, but Nintendo first-party titles very rarely go on sale and when they do, savings are lower than other manufacturers’ first-party titles.

        As an example, BotW is at around 35% discount a couple times a year on average (although it wasn’t on sale at all for around two years, 2020-22).
        In comparison, on Sony’s side, Demon’s Souls is at around 55% discount these days when it’s on sale every couple months or so. And yes, that’s technically a second-party title, but I feel it’s more relevant to compare launch games in this instance.
        Even Sony is becoming greedy with its own published games not getting huge sales like they used to.
