If the S2 Home was $229 that'd be half the price... The new demographic that you'd appeal to would be folk that are willing to spend $229 but not $450. Take any product and cut it's price in half & see what happens. |
Oh I was referring to Switch 1 lol
Again regarding price perception, why would Nintendo introduce an appealing Switch home (potentially even lower profit margin to hit this price), If they can continue sell a very similar amount of hardware at $299 (base)-$349 (Oled). I do not think $229 is the price point where many just gets an extra Switch just because, especially if it is less functional then their hybrid. I do think there is a market for it, and I don't think its off the table. Just don't think it's especially appealing to them since they saw no shortage of people picking up Switches late in life. They do not necessarily want to offer an ultra cheap system. The same way they won't discount first party games that aren't selling much anymore (Pikmin 4 for example)
