Understandable, if we were dealing with a Nintendo competitor. Nintendo is all about profitability, so they wont drop price unless they have to. They let the Wii U die with only a fifty dollar differential between its price and that of the switch. |
The only reason the Wii U's price did not drop (unlike other Nintendo consoles) was because its costs of production remained high because of the gamepad's non-standard hardware. The Switch uses much more mainstream hardware, and therefore the costs to produce them should drop steadily over time, allowing NIntendo to remain profitable with each new on sold even if the price is dropped.
