Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What's the reaction to the lack of Switch Black Friday sales

With Nintendo officially saying 'no black friday deals, just making sure we have stuff to sell', what's the internet reaction?


Has the Nintendo anger returned in mass, or are we dealing with people who see the reason for it?



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

They are gonna sell as much as they can ship regardless so cutting the price wouldnt make any sense for them.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I am sure peole who never plan on buying one anyway will complain. I have two, so it does not affect me.

It is a business decision. If it still sells out, then they made the right choice IMO. If people pass on it for PS4 and X1 deals, then it would be a bad decision.

I am indifferent until I see sales numbers, because I can see pros and cons on both end.

They will sell out all of their holiday stock anyway, so what would be the point of cutting the price or giving games away for free?

It's Nintendo. Don't ever expect anything of theirs to be on sale regardless of holiday season.

I expected this so no surprise here. They can barely stock it and now you want to lower the price? Are you nuts?

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Obvious. Nintendo already has distribution problems with regular price, if they lowered the price, we would have tons of hardware droughts all around. Plus, I'd rather want them to focus on software deals. Nintendo games don't drop in price that often, after all.

I see no point that they need to offer a special deal, especially with the chances that they might sell out the console anyway. If the console would have launched in fall no one would asked for a special deal only few weeks after launch.



They're selling out at retail price and are on everyone's 'top 3' for hottest wishlist items. Why would they discount it?



Not really too surprising, you can find a lot of stores discounting games which haven't sold a lot at retail but at the same time I'm hoping for a few games reduced on the eshop but yeah given the success of the machine I do think Nintendo would only upset people by reducing the system itself now.
