I mean, Nintendo did cut the price of the 3DS to a significant amount and even cut the price of the GameCube to $99. They even cut the price of the successful Wii.

Not saying that they will cut the Switch's price this holiday, but it's not necessarily out of the options. Right now, they probably want to sell it as a profit and if they still believe its selling well enough as a profit at its current price, then they'll stay the course with its price.

Quite different situation, 3DS need price cut because it didnt sell well, same goes for GameCube. Switch is selling very well and Nintendo has a quite a profit with current price point, so even if they miss target for 2-3m maybe they want make price cut.

Maybe Nintendo will have BF deals, something like Switch bundle with game for $300, people dont need to expect more than that.

the ps4 first year comparison  vs switch was always bad, very bad. ps4 launched during the holiday was severally limited in supply, basically having a minor boost in during  a time where it could ship 6-7 million with out a launch boost included, it only shipped 4.1 million with a launch, boost stock issues were massive.

Luckily we have comparison for second full year and Switch and PS4 are still doing very similar.

ps4 is out shipping it by nearly a million so far, correct me im wrong.

lol i don't know as well.

Nothing wrong with misunderstanding something. As long as we admit we're wrong and move on. 

You've schooled me once before (although in my defense, that was about very vague and nearly misleading wording from a complex financial document). I admitted it to you. You'll always have that on me. 

Anyways, back to the main topic. You're right there were advantages for Switch in it's first year. There never won't be. Best we can do is continue to passionately analyze the data and make educated guesses based on that. I'm looking forward to 2019. 

True,  but the difference you were throwing personal insults lol. anywayI'm 3 for 3 on my bets so far, but i feel 50/50 on switch doing less then 5.2 bet on npd.
