And Nvidia is possibly overpricing their GPU, knowing Nintendo can't switch to AMD because in doing so they'd lose backwards compatibility.

It is really strange how low Nintendo decided to price the Switch 2 in Japan. Year 1 sales would be production/shipments capped in Japan even at a much higher pricetag.

My guess would be that Nintendo wanted to avoid the shitstorm of announcing a 75K Yen price for Japan, in the fears that it would lead to a big backlash against the Nintendo brand in Japan, that could have long term consequences for them in Japan.

Which is strange since tie-ratio is the smallest in Japan, it's probably the worst market to recover mone with software sales compared to US and Europe. It's also the market where their option is uncontested and they run a monopoly, so it's likely the one the have the smallest chance to see a significant decresse compared to Switch 1
