Exactly. This is Sony declaring victory in the console wars. You could argue "But Nintendo", but Nintendo was never playing the same game as Sony & Microsoft. You want to play Nintendo games, you buy a Nintendo. You want to play Sony games, Sony says you have to buy a Sony PlayStation.

I'm not a fan, but it could work.

stop selling the item until the incorrect price is corrected

Not a lawyer but couldn't they just refuse to sell it to you? We all know it would be bullshit but couldn't a company say "Oh that minimum wage clerk made a mistake, but don't blame them, just an honest mistake."

Or is the law, if it's on the shelf, it must be honored?

I mean we should absolutely build more railways and we should absolutely have more bus routes, but there are times when a car makes the most sense.

Especially in more rural areas. If I want to visit my parents I can take a short walk to a bus or rail to a different bus or rail, but then I'm stuck. There isn't and there will never be a bus or rail that goes anywhere near their home because it's just too far in the middle of nowhere (and honestly it's not really that far in the middle of nowhere).

Not to mention that the US was designed for cars. Arguably that's where a lot of these problems started, but you can't just be Captain Hindsight and demand we rebuild absolutely everything.

We should absolutely be investing and funding rails and buses much more than we are now. It's embarrassing how far behind the US is.
