| JRPGfan said: Nintendo just need to get it down in price early on in its lifetime, to keep momentum of sales going. It cant sell the Switch for 100$ more than the PS4 or XB1 (they can, but shouldnt). I expect Nintendo by holidays to have a bundled 1st party game (mario oddessey) and a 50$ price drop. Then they just have to keep pushing out great games. |
Not gonna happen, there is zero reason to have price cut in 1st year when console is selling, and Switch is selling great and actual Nintendo can't keep up with demand, its selling much better than Nintendo initaly planed with same price point, and with more must have games and great marketing and word of mouth Switch is becoming even more desired console buy time passes. Best you can hope for holiday season is MK8D bundle for $300 (hardly they will bundle huge big new game like Mario Odyssey for holiday season). Price cut probably for holiday season 2018.
Also Nintendo talked at Investitor meeting how costs of production for ordered Switch consoles for this year cant go down, so profitability will be same for whole FY. In other words they will make same amount of profit on evre Switch sold this year, and price cut is only possible for next year when costs of Switch manufacturing go down.
