Surely price drops before launch is an indicator that it isn't a must have item and there isn't hordes of people waiting to buy one. Although saying that I can't remember if hugely successful formats like wii and ps2 held their price up to launch. Just seems a strange thing to do if you can't get enough stock to start discounting.
I've a feeling there will be a glut of Switches on the secondhand market after people have played through Zelda. Some will wait for Mario but others might just get maximum value at that point and buy again later hoping for a lower price.
