As has been mentioned anyone in the US who is confident they'll get a Switch 2 in the next year or so and can afford one right now should take advantage of this deal since it might not get this cheap again anytime soon.

Switch 2 is already seeing weakening demand everywhere outside of Japan. Nintendo is handing over significant market share in Europe to Sony with the Switch 2, turning what was a decently strong market for the Switch into a weak market for the Switch 2, and suddenly PS5 sales are skyrocketing because Europeans realize the hyped up new Nintendo system is not what the Switch was so they may as well get the PS5. And we've all seen the horrendous US sales of the Switch 2 in November, granted in the US it's a combo of Nintendo's plethora of bad Switch 2 decisions as well as the deranged dictator in the US steering the country into the gutter. But globally it's down to price and so far a complete lack of reasons (read: games) that make the system worth buying. Notice the one place the system is still doing extremely well and putting up Switch-level numbers is the one place where the system is actually affordable and ~$100 cheaper. If Nintendo execs were focused on the right things (the customer!) the Switch would still be doing booming numbers instead of sputtering everywhere outside of Japan. |
Your premise here is completely wrong cause there is nothing so far that is indicating that demand is weakening in Europe. Its first November there is literally significantly better than the Switch 1's first according to current estimates on here so barring a big adjustment downwards later on is doing well there currently thus Japan is actually not the only place it's putting up Switch-level numbers.
The US is the odd one out here but that's not a Switch 2 problem since console sales overall were bad there this November. I don't get how you can say stuff this factually incorrect when not only is there no data backing it up there's also data that goes against what you're saying literally clicks away on this very site.
