I think it should have been $199.99 from the get-go.

Your avatar is of a mascot of a failed hardware manufacturer and the Switch has outsold the Wii at its $299 pricepoint after an abysmal outing for the WiiU.  Yeah, it's safe to say you're not the best judge of these things.  In your world, Nintendo would be $1.5 Billion poorer.  Eh, at least they'd have your approval on their launch price, though.  Seems like a fair consolation.

When you convert profits from US hardware and European hardware (299 to 199 in both currencies, or -100) and add up all the currencies, you end up losing 145 billion yen on the 15M units forecast for this fiscal year. Turning Nintendo's profit forecast of 116.5 billion yen, to a  loss of 29 billion.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
