I'm not arguing that the SW2 SKU they've revealed is too expensive. It's borderline. I'm saying it would be beneficial to have another dedicated home console SKU for considerably cheaper.

Unless of course Nin is hoping some of those consumers will just get a SW1 instead, or that those who may have to wait for years to save up, will just have to wait. If I were Nin, I'd want to make sure SW2 takes off like SW1 and has every reason to keep up that momentum, with as little controversy as possible, like an earlier than expected price cut, but that's just me.

Early adopters tend to be enthusiasts who aren't bothered by price and just want the cool new console.

The time for cheaper SKUs like the inevitable Lite model will be later down the line once the initial rush is over.

That sounds a lot like greed to me, but that's just me.

It's just how the console business works. Unless your platform is a disaster, you're going to sell everything you ship initially anyway, so there's less reason to have a cut price version from day 1.

I don't remember Nin doing business like that with SW1, and the hype around it was pretty huge.
