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! |
My thoughts on Nintendo's plan, or what they should do have been this.
Release at $299. Stay at that price until holiday season. Then release a bundle for the holiday season at $299. Maybe something liek Mario Kart Delux Bundle.
Then come next March, do a price cut to $249.
Then at next March you have a console with a great selection of games available and at a desirable $250 mark.
