The tariff stuff is still an issue. August 1st is when I believe they go into affect, so whatever Sony and Nintendo have already manufactured shipped is safe and hopefully both have been preparing a good amount of stock to fight the price raising. The stock will not last forever though and it just seems like the inevitable is coming (rising prices) and that will affect them all, not just Switch 1. Switch Lite for $199.99/ Switch 1 for $299.99 might not look very bad next to 499.99 Switch 2 and/or 599.99 PS5/Xbox series. So much can happen because of this nonsense, we really don't know what will things look like in the future. |
2 tweaks and I am much closer to completely agreeing with you. One point you make, and as others have alluded to is the lack of price cuts on the original Switch line ... in the present economic climate Nintendo may be thinking of trading price stability in place of the normal price cut. Most of the world has seen a great deal of inflation the past half decade and I think while unpopular this might be a sound strategy.
