Yeah. Multiple systems per household, plus people upgrading to the premium Switch. There also hasn't been a single price cut yet, so there are likely a lot of people who will pick it up when it drops to around $200 (lots of people don't want a handheld only). |
That still blows my mind. The Switch still hasn't received it's first price cut and it's been 4 years. Consoles usually go on sale 1-2 years after launch, but not the Switch. Their profit margins must be huge on each Switch sold. But it's like we cannot blame them for not dropping the price if it's selling nearly 30 million a year now, if not more. This also applies to their Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers. Still $80 and $70 respectively. They even charge $5 more for special Pro Controllers and still sell out (Monster Hunter Rise Controller is the most recent example). I really want to know how much money Nintendo was making on their systems and controllers back then and compare it to now.
