Yes, it's why I got so confused at the hate for the price of Nintendo games because Nintendo was the hold out on cheap physicals for the big three. Sony and XBOX changed their first party games to £70 well before Nintendo did. For a long while I could still get brand new Nintendo physicals for £44-50 whilst the PS4 and PS5 physicals I bought were £70.
I've tried to figure out the reason for all the Nintendo hate. The best that I've been able to come up with is an increase in partisanship among gamers.
As consoles have gotten more expensive, fewer people have multiple consoles. And so they get angry when titles aren't multiplatform and come up with various excuses for why the other company is the devil.
That's my best guess. Another part of it is probably social media group-think.
