Touche if true in Japan. 

So WiiU never received a price cut in Japan for less than $300?? Well... That's really bold.

 

And yes, most probably there will be a price cut, but it does not mean Nintendo won't try to hold the $300 price the longest possible. 

Not just in Japan but world wide, Nintendo tends to have world wide price cuts not just on single market.

No they want, they want to have lower price point soonest is possible to Switch have even bigger apealing on market (same like all platforms that I mentioned), like I wrote buy time cost of productions of consoles are getting down so Nintendo can maintain same profit margin even with price cut, and espacily if they have new revision.

So WiiU was never below $300 not just in Japan, but worldwide???? That explain a lot of things....

I'm not saying Switch won't receive a price cut this year, but Nintendo has showed recently  that are reluctant on dropping the price in their consoles, possibly because they're not cheap to produce at all. So, my theory is, that most of 2019, Switch will still be at $300 in Japan (because there will be a demand similar to last year still), and maybe, at the last quarter of the year, a $50 discount will come.
