| Sephiran said: Nintendo is still a fully Japanese gaming company, unlike Sony which moved the PS division to the US. That could mean that Nintendo still puts a lot of focus on the Japanese domestic market. And it doesn't really matter if Switch 2 would sell better than the PS5 at 75K Yen price in Japan, because that price would still lead to a huge decline in sales from the Switch generation to the Switch 2 generation. Nintendo is not interested in just selling more than the PS5 in Japan, their goal is to have as high Switch 2 sales as possible in Japan, and a 75K yen price would probably lead to a 50-60% decline in sales in Japan for Nintendo. |
Japan is also where portable gaming is strongest out of any region by far.
