Nintendo clarified that the 13.5m forecast does not include the successor: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/nintendo-no-switch-2-before-april-2025#:~:text=Nintendo%20has%20confirmed%20that%20the,of%20a%20next%2Dgen%20Switch.

I also have my doubts about a price cut; nearly everything is going up in price rather than down these days due to inflation, and Nintendo has been highly averse to price cuts for a long time now.

I agree. In everyone's predictions of the Switch is that Nintendo will price cut. However tech prices, like most stuff, doesn't appear to be going down right now. Nintendo can/will only price drop if they still make a profit off the console. Nintendo will not sell it while making a 100 dollar loss on each unit.

agreed, a price cut will only take place if there is a profit.

i think there is plenty of room to lower the price given the costs, inflation included  

the ONLY reason there hasn’t been a cut up to this point is because of the switch sales, they sold 15.5 mil in year 7.  

I also wonder about potential new skus that amplify cost reduction.

just curious, what do you think the costs of the switch are?  Do you really think there’s no room for a price cut?  

costs were expected to be around 215 for the original switch base u it in 2018….
