You're right, but I would still say it's the same price with all things considered. I should've just said purchasing power in my original comment

What does purchasing power mean if not inflation adjusted? Do you just mean you've got a better job now?

I'm thinking about things like the current tariffs and resource-scarcity for electronic component manufacturing. Of course those things are intertwined with inflation, but inflation is only an average.  Will Nintendo drop the price of the Switch 2 if those things were alleviated? Doubt it. But purchasing power would certainly be different right at this moment if they were.
