Not my downvote but I believe when you do the math the equation goes like this:

(reduction in functionality) + (fewer options) + (loss of user control) + (handicapped operation) + (hardware underutilization) = higher prices for everyone

This is not including things like (planned obsolescence) which are intended to make things more expensive without raising the sales price.

You don't have to game on Nintendo devices. Open platforms are available on the market.
