| Miyamotoo said: No you missing point of discussion, point was about deals, PS4 official price point is $299, so going from $299 without game to $199 with one brand new game is far better deal than going from $299 without game to $299 with one game thats 1.5 years old game and port.
Talking about price cuts, PS4 actually had price cut in its second October to $350 (so less than 2 years on market), and in November of that year was selling for $350 with one game, Switch still has launch price point. https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/10/08/ps4-price-drop-announced-for-north-america |
And my point is that the NS is still under 2 years old. And this is only its second holiday season. Its price of entry is also lower than the price of entry for the PS4 at the same time in its life.
It shouldn't need deals like what the PS4 is currently employing to sell well. And it selling as well as it is selling isn't a big deal cause its performing as well as any well performing console before it. Even the XB1 is putting up god numbers this month.
You say the switch still has its launch price.... it took sony 3 years to get to the current switch launch price.
