17. ( -7) Nintendo Switch w/ Neon Blue & Neon Red Joy Con + $35 Nintendo eShop Credit Download Code - Nintendo Switch - 3rd party only
18. ( +9) Nintendo Switch – Neon Red and Neon Blue Joy-Con
30. ( +2) PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Console
51. ( +6) Nintendo Switch - Gray Joy-Con
86. ( +7) PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Console

Seeing how good that $35 gift card SKU did, Nintendo should just finally drop the price of the Switch by $50. Every console already had a price cut at this point in time.

Well, it's still holding very strong, and if we include Best Buy and Gamestop, has a commanding lead over the PS4 and the XBO. It's selling better than ever in Japan.

In other words, yes, the 35$ gift card had a great effect, but a price cut is nowhere needed yet for Nintendo.

Besides, considering that the other SKU dropped quite a lot (and are climbing up fast now that the 35$ SKT is sold out), I'm not sure if it boosted overall sales by that much and instead just pushed buyers to get that model instead.
