After the price of the Switch 2 and the starting game was announced, the industry was surprised by the price of the Nintendo console and supporting game.Yesterday, Nintendo announced that Mario Kart: World is priced at $80, and if you choose a physical version, it may be as high as $90.

After the recent price increase, an analyst said a $80 pricing could become the new normal for the industry.Pricing in the 3A gaming industry has generally risen from the previous $60 to $70 with the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series.

Just shortly after the price of Mario Kart: World was announced, well-known industry analyst Mat Piscatella said that the $80 pricing would become the new industry standard.

According to Mat analysis, many publishers will follow this trend and increase the price of the game, and unlike in recent years, this price increase will occur simultaneously.

He also pointed out that due to the limited inventory of the Switch 2 in the early stages of its release, the pricing of the console will not hurt sales, because everyone wants to buy one.In further discussion of Switch 2, Matt said the real test will come in two years, when supply will become more adequate.

“The real test will come in the second year because the supply will likely become more adequate.”

Still, it remains to be seen how Mario Kart: World's price will affect the gaming industry.As the price rise is not far from the release of "GTA6", it seems that the price increase is inevitable.
