It's not necessary for a cheaper cutted model to do the vast majority of the sales. Also 300$ is not that expensive to drew so many people to the 200$ price option. Yes it offers more. No doubt about it. However the person on a budget with 200$ will get the one for 200$ no matter what. He can afford 200$ and he will buy the Lite model. And by that point in the life of the Switch whoever wanted Switch for 200$ they've got one. The Series S is alternative to the Xbox next gen console The X is the 4K machine. And the Series S sales are very good. The value is there however cheaper price model kills the future impact that would have a price cut for the original model. It will have some impact but not that much that would've been if till that point there wasn't 200$ option for the system. Anyway the discontinuation of the Lite model probably isn't happening anytime soon, and if there is a price cut it will be for all 3 models which will have impact on the sales, so there is no point in arguing about that. I just wanted to say that the statement " switch has not yet received price cut" is not true, because the Lite models is alternative to a price cut, and it took the most of the impact a regular price cut on the normal model would have. Switch is at 111M and the Lite model at 199$ helped for this. |
Again though, the Lite is not equivalent to a price cut, because lower sales despite its lower price show it isn't valued the same as the fully featured Switch.
It's not the same value propositon at a lower price point, it's a lesser package that doesn't offer the full Switch experience.
If it had the effect of a price cut, most Switch sales would be Lites, but the opposite is true
It is correct to say the Switch never got a price cut, because getting the full Switch experience still costs $300, just like it did in 2017. (And probably just like it will until it's discontinued)
