So after retailer cut, shipping and other stuff they're probably close to breaking even at $300. I guess that should dash away the hopes of people waiting on a 3DS-level price cut by the holidays because I don't see Nintendo selling the Switch at a loss unless it's floundering big time.

if this figure is true, wich I have my doubts about since Nintendo said they are making profit on the system, it certainly explains why 12switch wasn't a pack-in.

Very true, still I find it hard to believe they put damn near as much into 1-2switch as they did BOTW which is only $10 more with a 6 year development cycle..


Although I haven't played it 1-2 switch shouldn't be more than $30 retail and if they really wanted to showcase the system they should have sold it at $20. That of course would conflict with their software value philosophy .
