| Shadow1980 said: As well as the Switch OLED is doing, I could see the Switch 2 only being available in OLED and Nintendo charging $350 for it. Adjusted for inflation, the Switch's launch price is $370, so $350 isn't a bad price all things considered. I doubt they'd go any higher, though. |
If the Switch's launch price is $370 with inflation, why do you think Nintendo will accept only $350 on a Switch 2? $399.99 makes far more sense here.
The whole thing of "Nintendo's fans are just 12 year olds and can't afford expensive consoles" is just bunk as Nintendo's own internal demographic data shows above beyond that.
The Switch isn't and never has been a budget product, Nintendo has refused to really cut the price on the standard Switch, instead opting (of all things) to increase the price of the system with the OLED model like 5 years into the product cycle, lol.
$399.99 will be fine. Nintendo just has to make sure they have strong core software offerings (I'm talking a Mario Kart 9 + Mario 3D platformer or Zelda remake + 1 other large-ish title like a Metroid Prime 4 in early succession) and the system isn't some piece of crap hardware wise (has to be a full generational leap over the current Switch) and doesn't look like a children's toy or has some bizarre gimmick that makes the system way more expensive.
