He's right on that issue. Nintendo has been known for not lowering the prices after games have been out for years while games on other systems get price drops after a few months. I remember seeing Super Mario 64 DS for the same price around 10 years after it was released.
Furthermore, when other companies release remasters they released them in collections of three games while Nintendo will release a port of a single game for $60 (that Donkey Kong game on the Switch for example).
Ironically if they did lower the prices then I would have bought a ton of Switch games. Instead I usually end up getting none when I go to the store and see the same games at $60 for the last few years.
And the digital sales are rare compared to the constant sales on PlayStation and Xbox. Admittedly they have gotten better with this then last generation when they only had like one or two sales in the entire history.
