Sticker Shock: Why Gaming Prices Are Rising

In this episode of Blowing Cartridges, we're joined by industry analyst from MST Financial David Gibson to dig into the investor side of the video game landscape.  With the Nintendo Switch 2 shaking up the scene, coupled with a looming trade war and the price increases from Nintendo's competitors, we discuss the dynamics driving some of these trends.    From console pricing strategies to game development budgets, David brings his investment and market expertise, together with his knowledge of the gaming sector to break down how companies are responding to consumer trends, inflation, the cost of game and hardware development and the ever-changing global market.    Brendan - @Tamazoid Zach - @Eggerino David - @Gibbogame   Intro music - '8 Bit Ditty' by FoolBoyMedia Outro - 'Video Game Land' by FoolBoyMedia
