Look at the price of bread.
Inflation can be a useful and good thing. The issue is that it can be used as an excuse for the loss of wealth. But your statement is false, still.

All through my life, electronic products only got cheaper the longer they sit on the shelf. All the way to almost zero until they become a collectible antique.
this lifetime trend is a really bad omen.
I know what inflation is, I’ve seen sonic in sketchy websites.

You make it seem like civilisation is about to collapse. Paranoia and doomerism because some gaming thing got more expensive is ridiculous. And misses what’s actually wrong with the world.

Anything that is still produced, and thus needs components. The second-hand Deck prices probably won’t be going up too much.
