How? Xbox launched at 500(if you account for inflation it's closer to 6) the PS5 also launched at the same price. Which again if you count for inflation is closer to 6. So this is coming in under those prices by quite a bit. This is a launch console price point.

Now if you were complaining about the cost of the game then yeah that would make sense because I don't think Mario Kart has the same production cost as say Forza or Grand Tourismo.

The consoles price point is actually in line with how much the original switch cost(if you take into account inflation).
