I could see 2019 if they launched a Pro model. Or, I could see them releasing a 64 GB or 128 GB update and cutting the 32 GB models to clear out stock.

I think the following will happen: They'll release a simpler new model, that is smaller but retains the same screen size, later next year for $250 and keep the current model at $300 but bundled with a game like they did with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe this holidays. I think this way it would reach a wider audience. And then, on holiday 2020 they could always cut the models to $200 and $250 with a game bundled, to compete with Sony's and Microsoft's new consoles. This way, I think Switch would continue unaffected since the new machines will retail for at the very least $400, which would be the double of what Switch would be priced at.

price cut and proper pokemon with pokemon bank is my requirement to have a go with nsw

Knowing Nintendo, ridiculously late.

I would be happy to see some prices go down, first Nintendo console since Gamecube and now I remember the feeling when Nintendo games almost never get price cuts at least not like most games so I would be happy with some good price cuts to the games

Yes and if they announce a New Switch SKU.

When they release Switch 2, or shortly before. I am not sure that date. Next year with Pokemon as a launch title?

Anyhow, before I can trust NSW, they must kill all those nasty spiders first!

Is Nintendo usually late at the party though?

Wii U had a pricecut first year, so did 3DS.. both for obvious reasons.

Wii had a price cut before year 3 and neither of these seems particularly late.

As for when I expect a pricecut.. I'd just throw a date out of my behind.. around summer when I guess Animal Crossing releases :>

Alongside with the new SKU.
