I get the feeling Nintendo are gonna want to hang on to the $300 price point for as long as they can, didn't they say as much in a recent press thingie, or am I misremembering? Something about "increasing value in other ways" or something.

Yeah I mean they could but at the same time they could increase the amount of software sales by lowering the price to attract a bigger audience. We'll see but even if it's doing well I dont think any console kept its launch price for 4 years that would be too much.

They will probably cut the price just before or after the launch of the PS5/new XBox. For the games, the cartridges are more expensive than DVDs and they don't want to push the digital market by making them cheaper.
