That's more or less true for only US. I follow the main 3DS sub on reddit and for whatever reason the second hand market of 3DS prices are insane there. Whereas in Europe you can still buy a New Nintendo 3DSXL for very reasonable prices. On eBay and Facebook Market Place the lowest ones are running for 120-130€ and you won't see similar prices in the US. But that's not just Nintendo only, I play MTG and cards are always cheaper in Europe than in the US. Just like with Nintendo less people who are "investing" into games (the most prevailing theory on reddit is the Covid stimulus checks + "free" loans given out to small businesses. Basically lot of people got enough cash that they choose to invest into games)
