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 $300 (hardly they will bundle huge big new game like Mario Odyssey for holiday season). Price cut probably for holiday season 2018. Also Nintendo talked at Investitor meeting how costs of production for ordered Switch consoles for this year cant be go down, so profitability will be same for whole FY. In other words they will make same amount of profit on evre Switch sold this year, and price cut is only possible for next year when costs of Switch manufacturing go down. |
There is.... their competition is selling a home console too, thats like 5 times as powerfull for 100$ less bundled with a great game.
I think it effects sales, but I guess if you "look at it" from nintendos point of view, and just profits your right.
I think of it as a consumer though, I want nintendo to sell alot of units, and dont care about their profits (they have so much money already just sitting around doing nothing). I want them to build up a huge amount of unit sales, and get great support for the system. Best way to do that, is by trying to compete and not "ignore" the PS4 & XB1.
".....and actual Nintendo can't keep up with demand"
They should fix that asap, if its a matter they have any controll over (ei. ramp up production).
