I do agree its very annoying when people who are the most vocal about it then buy it anyway. I try to avoid that by just speaking broadly about pricing issues that I think are just a bad idea, unless its specifically something I actively am against buying at X price.
For example, I was very specific of refusing to buy Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut on Wii U at full price, because that version of the game was conveniently cheaper everywhere else, it felt like SE was actively sabotaging the Wii U version. So I never bought it until I found it cheaper.
Whereas I actively went against the idea that the Advance Wars remakes should've been cheaper, until it became obvious people weren't buying it (though I did feel vindicated when Nintendo offered a much worse deal of one GBA remake for 50 in Mario vs. DK instead of 2 remakes for 60). I think its worth full price, I'm actively annoyed people didn't think so in the grand scheme of Nintendo releases, but I'd rather the game be successful than be "correctly priced".
Complaining about game prices here or anywhere doesn't really make them suddenly lower game prices. It just makes people all the more to buy it unless they vote with their wallet.
People complained about the Switch 2 being expensive but sales have gone up. People have complained on MKW price being 80$ but it sold well still.
In these cases voting with your wallet certainly helps.
@kkslider5552000 and why it does not often work?

Well first of all, this is an internet forum in the 2020s, nothing said here matters. There is a consistency of irrelevance here.
Switch 2 is a weird thing where I don't think the sales issue is disproven by its early success. Like Switch 2 doing super well early, with a new Mario Kart, was inevitably going to be a huge success. Because the people who can afford to buy Nintendo games no matter what, don't have a reason to care. Other people nowadays...do. So whether that will last remains to be seen.

But what about elsewhere? I mean complaints here won't work out but on x, youtube etc? And those are major social platforms.
And sure the Switch 2 is early in its life but it's also having stronger sale figures compared to the Switch. If the complaints were really valid and if the sales of it were declining Nintendo would have cut the cost just like how they did for the 3ds when the sales for that console were low at launch.

I'm not sure what you understand less, that Nintendo is more popular after the Switch era than it was after the Wii U era, or that the major problem people have are the game prices, not the system prices.
3DS isn't even a worthwhile comparison, because it was at the height of mobile games being considered the future of gaming, had a terrible launch with no must play games for months (not to mention Pokemon B/W launching at the same time on DS, thus making 3DS look even more irrelevant by comparison), and at launch still cost less than half the price of a Switch 2, with similar pricing differences for major software. Completely different situation.

Not true.
Nintendo was way popular after the DS era because of the casual market. True at the time Nintendo was hesitant with making their games on mobile but it still didn't largely affect their brand awareness.
Not to mention that 3ds did have must play titles like Kid Icarus Uprising, Super Mario 3D land and ocarina of time 3d. True it didn't have a pokemon game at launch until two years later but the 3ds had games. Plus having the ability to play DS games is a bonus.
I would say the Switch 2 is in the similar boat. Lack of strong launch titles...mkw and bananza were the only worthwhile exclusives early in the switch 2s cycle.
