“You Want That Content So Bad,” Former PlayStation Boss Says Of Switch 2 Exclusive Titles
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
One of the biggest talking points surrounding the Switch 2 since its official announcement has been focused on the price of the console and its games–some believe the prices are simply too much.
In an interview with PlayerDriven, former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden said Nintendo can charge what it wants for new first-party Switch 2 games because Nintendo makes compelling games. Some people might perceive the price increase for a game like Mario Kart World ($80) as being “hefty,” Layden said, but in the end, people will buy it anyway.
“If it’s the only place where you can play Mario, then you get your wallet out and you buy into it… and Donkey Kong and Zelda. That first-party exclusivity kind of mitigates the sticker shock, if you will, of these price hikes, because you want that content so bad,” he said (via IGN).
