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. |
The Switch is also already at a very mass market price so they may never drop it. In the past we saw consoles go from $299 to $99, or $499 to $199. PS4 is already ending its life as the most expensive console we've seen $299 and I think Switch will match it. I think Switch will only receive a price cut when they're trying to get rid of stock when its eventually replaced. Even then it won't be official but from the retailers.
