US deals weren't aggressive. Just $50 lower than it was before August 21. And basically more expensive than the temporary AstroBot bundles earlier this year. I think the masses are buying in great numbers because they're expecting prices to increase even further.

"Aggressive pricing" is not how I would describe the PS5 era lol.

What hurts Nintendo the most is lacklustre third party support in combination with lack of big releases from Nintendo. Nintendo isn't giving people any reasons to buy a Switch 2, unless they are hardcore Nintendo fans. PS5 has gotten many big games this year, Arc Raiders, CoD, Battlefield, Yotei, Clair Obscur and many more. DK Bananza failed in being a big tentpole title for Switch 2, only hardcore Nintendo fans care about Donkey Kong.

Dropping Kirby and Metroid late 2025 is just a big nothing burger for consumers which contributes to the tepid Switch 2 sales.
