After wii u price and manufacturing cost due to tablet controller fiasco, Nintendo must have provided for the future to be able to cut switch price without sacrificing profits...

 

It's doesn't do me a honor to say that as a consumer, but thinking from business perspective, selling switch at 299$ for a specific time interval and then drop it to 249$ is great...

 

Sell as much as you can at 299$ and theν cut it to 249$, you earn more money and people will appreciate that you're willing to slash the price to make them purhasin  your product... Instead of having it at 249$ from the beginning and leave it there for years, as you may cannot lower it...

Eerly adopters are early adopters because they can afford to be... They shouldn't complain!

I agree; the same strategy burned me on the PS4P, but it makes sense for the company.
