I don't think so, maybe a cut for the Standard model, assuming the Standard model isn't just replaced next year.

But at $199 the lite will be selling fast enough next year, they won't need to cut the price.

I think Nintendo should tbh.
Greed for profits on hardware isnt worth the potential loss from software + services.

Nintendo should be chaseing that Wii effect, with the 99$ console price.
Todays 149$ is probably akin to that of the 99$ Wii back then.

Plus handhelds are more price sensetive than home consoles...... If I was nintendo Id go for explosive growth in hardware sales.
199$ is still "pricy" for a handheld, 149$ and market adoption drastically increases.

You're assuming that if they dropped the price to $149 they could keep up with demand. I'm fulling expecting the Switch to sell at least 20m this year and next.
