| CheddarPlease said: Well Nintendo did say they were committed to supporting the Switch through 2027 so unless they really don't have the production capacity to do anything more than clear out existing inventory I'd like to believe that promise comes with hardware production through 2027 as well |
That makes me think even in our current age of price cuts dying out that a price cut is coming for Switch.
Switch and Switch OLED for $300 and $350 will be a lot by 2027, even more than it is right now in a value proposition. Switch 2 is tracking at $400, as $500 seems way too expensive for a Nintendo platform (excluding inflation from the earlier days when video games were a smaller market).
I do think a price cut will help move more Switch units, but it depends when it would happen for how much it would help.
