At the very least, they should wait until the Nintendo Switch 2 is a thing. By that time, the NS1 will be pretty affordable, maybe $150, half its launch price. And that’s not counting any other variations or cheaper models they introcude later down the line. Then, they can target the teenage/adult/dedicated gamer audience with the NS2. We already see them doing that strategy with the 3DS. |
That is late. And I don't think the expanded communities are in there because of the price. Look at sales of iPhones. I agree, that it is wise to pull in more core gamers as early adopters. But if they drop a Switch Sports in 2018 and put some ads targeted at these audiences is not an error. As ryuzaki pointed out, Just Dance 2018 did as well as the Wii version in the UK, and that is already a success. This happened without targeting the casual crowd with the Switch directly. So how much more of this audience is pulled in with a Switch Sports and some other games in the like? And as the Wii showed, these audiences then go on and buy also Mario Kart and Mario.
