| PAOerfulone said: Here's an interesting tidbit: According to Nintendo, sales for the regular Switch model are actually up from last year. It's the Switch Lite that's WAY down. Bringing overall Switch sales down in the process. Hardware Honestly, the Switch OLED really should be replacing the Lite model while the regular Switch model gets a price cut. |
Probably owes to a few factors ... last year a lot of people couldn't find a regular Switch so they settled for the Switch Lite and also kids being out of school due to COVID shut downs probably had parents scrambling to find things to keep their kids occupied with ... Switch Lite probably filled that void. This year you can find the normal Switch model without much fuss so given a choice most people probably choose the regular Switch.
It seems like the appeal of the "compact/cheap model" probably has been overstated too, modern consumers just don't find that type of thing very appealling. You even see it with smartphones, most people don't want to the lower-end/smaller/budget iPhone for example.
