I generally agree with those price cuts. But I'd expect the Lite to drop to $179.99 and them to be cut for next holiday to go against the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett. 

Yeah exactly, I expect a price cut just before the other systems launch (if not sooner). A price cut + BotW2(?) would keep Switch in the gaming headlines amidst the two console launches. $250 and $180 next November makes sense to me. The fact that they have gone this long without a price cut is crazy, historically, though of course makes sense revenue wise. I don't think there's any way there won't be a price cut next year.

Yeah it is pretty insane that Switch is still able to make these numbers without them being aggressive on pricing and bundles. A 50$ price cut is going to be huge and could put it to new highs with AC and Botw 2 or another big franchise. 

Edit : Wow i also forgot about China. If the 100k preorders in couple of hours with 3 games announced thing is true it really could be a game changer you know. They were really smart to make an alliance with Tencent there and it really could be huge. I hope they are ready to mass produce. Like in all honesty Tencent is gigantic and the Chinese market is too, if done right, Nintendo could be the first one to fully blow up there (and with the help of the Switch being hybrid). My gosh they really played all their cards right this gen this is insane, like Switch could get some almost DS level highs if China works out.
