Even if the Lite made up only 20% of sales, that is still an extra 407K units sold in Dec. Of course, my guess is it is closer to 25%-30%, as it currently sits at 36% of total sales in Japan for this year. There's no denying that the $199 Lite more than likely saved it from being down YOY and is 100% what helped it hit the 2M mark. Not sure why pointing out this simple fact after someone wrongly stated "2M without a pricecut!" seems to upset some. |
Releasing a cut down model with less features at a reduced price isn't the same as a price cut; the regular Switch, which is one the most buyers chose, still costs as much as it did at launch.
And the Lite's not really doing "wonders" when the $300 base model still comprises the bulk of sales.
