Xbox, Sony and every other major publisher is guaranteed to follow suit, just like they always have with this sort of thing.
In fact, in Australia, Nintendo is the one catching up with the market. The standard Monster Hunter Wilds, Doom: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones for PS and Xbox costs the same as Mario Kart World, at A$119.99 a pop. Hell, the standard Death Stranding 2 and Silent Hill f cost more, an eye watering A$129.99.
Welcome to the new industry standard. Guarantee every major publisher will be following suit, Nintendo was just the first one to bite the bullet this time.
Iām more interested/concerned about the character roster. Iād like to see characters from WarioWare/Land and DKC. I not overly interested in seeing more Super Mario series enemy/npc characters or guest characters like Link, Splatoon and Animal Crossing. Also character costumes, like in MK Tour, would be good and not character slots taken by things like Metal/Tanooki Mario or Pink-Gold Peach.
Theyāve had their ups and downs, but Itās amazing how quickly Ubisoft went from a decent games developer to an absolute joke. After Star Wars Outlaws and the upcoming AC Shadows (among other games), they deserve every bit of it, itās all self inflicted, you reap what you sow.
Heck, who knows? Maybe Tencent will be the change for the better for Ubisoft.

Re: Nintendo's Switch 2 Announcement Reportedly Impacted Steam Deck Sales
The cheapest Steam Deck is A$649, as long as the Switch 2 is less than A$500, Iāll be happy. A$400-A$450 is the sweet spot imo.
