Nintendo can charge what they like and if the product still sells in decent numbers it was the right pricing. I'm very price sensitive and always looking for value in my purchases so will not pay a high price but instead wait for an offer. I don't have to have the latest thing straight away I'm happy to wait to save money and if a product always remains excessively expensive and I think my money can be better spent elsewhere I won't buy it. I remember when Nintendo launched the N64 in the UK at 250 pounds and it absolutely failed to sell at launch in reasonable numbers. It quickly dropped to 150 pounds and spent most of its life at 100 pounds or less. Nintendo have gotten pricing completely wrong in the past. We shall see how the Switch 2 does with casual gamers at current pricing compared to early adopters. It may still sell well or it might fail we shall see. The higher the price the higher the risk it may fail in the market place.
