Probably has to do with the high volatility of the Yen right now.
Back in 2020 a US$ gave you about 100 to 110 yen, now it's more like 145 yen and a couple weeks ago it was 160 yen, with pretty wild fluctuations since 2022, where it was still at 115 yen to the dollar until March when the fluctuations started.
Due to this, I expect Nintendo and Microsoft to also increase their prices - or at least don't do promotions as with the current volatility prices are pretty hard to predict.
