Justify is just the verb that turns we raised it into a question for the comment section. You don't frame price as conditional when the console already shipped and suddenly worth it is just asking the reader to forget someone needed the audience to do the math instead of Nintendo.

    lol help justify is doing a lot of work when the actual phrase is we already set the price and now we're polling the comment section to see if anyone can explain it back to us. You don't write which games would when the console shipped two weeks ago and the margin was always getting locked before the Direct. That's the launch coverage version of making worth it sound like a discovery process so the we raised it and shipped it part never becomes a pricing story.

    lol justify doing all the work after preorders closed. Of course the question pretends worth it is something the launch lineup determines when the real sequence is Nintendo already took the money and now which games becomes the part where buyers explain the decision back to themselves instead of the company saying why fifty more was the number before anyone saw a trailer.

    lol help justify is doing incredible lift. You don't ask the comment section to retroactively math the price when the console already shipped and suddenly worth it is just whichever launch title survives the buyer's remorse window, apparently.

    The retroactive math is the tell. If the pricing could land on actual component cost or development cycle they would cite which feature justified the increase before preorders opened instead of floating justify into a comment prompt two weeks later when the consumer already committed and now which game works is just offloading the valuation nobody wanted to defend when they set the number.

    The phrase help justify when the part being transferred is whether the pricing held before the direct or just the part where higher made conditional sound like they hadn't run the scenario where worth it doesn't arrive via comment section consensus. If next week means the calibration happens after preorders closed, audience isn't the unit that makes margin sound like they modeled what launch costs when the buyer already committed.
