Has there ever been a video game console that did not get a price cut at all during its lifetime? It's insane that the Switch has never gotten a price cut. I know, I know people will talk about inflation and how the Switch Lite is kinda of a price cut, but I mean real price cut


The Switch did get a price cut, it went from $299.99 to $259.99 in the US. €330 to €300 in Europe and £280 to £260 in the UK. I’m not sure about Japan but it should be noted the Switch launch price converts to just under $200 in Japan, and at one point the currency conversion was around $180.

Even the OLED version appears to have had a stealth price cut as I can see it on Amazon right with an rrp of £279.99(launched at £309.99) and available at £265.49. The Switch lite is available for £170 too, and these are the official Nintendo store on Amazon prices, so they’re just sold at these prices all year round by Nintendo it appears.

Where are you seeing a Switch price cut in US to $259.99? In my area (west coast) it has been $299 since launch and has never budged from that price. OLED is $349.
