Unless those reports were wrong, there needs to be immediate accountability by the CFO for saying something like that when the price would increase massively 1 month later.

That's a big part of my anger about this thing right now, even as the price increase was insane by itself.

Talking about securing deals to the end of 2026 and ways to prevent prices going up for the console and immediatly raising them by 100 and 150 is outrageous.

Are you sure they weren't talking about the current fiscal year?

But yeah, hoping consumers respond strongly and sales nose dive.

For sure the market conditions are tough but £100 price hike in one fell swoop, am I to imagine they were selling the system at that much of a loss until now? Of course they could doing such a huge increase now so they don't have to next year if things continue to get worse.

Anyway hoping Nintendo stays their supposed course and benefits if they keep their prices lower

Thr article I read was saying about "thought 2026" not the current fiscal year, I also remember some other article mentioning it to last the "year end sales period", I'll link you the former but I can't remember where I read the later.

It would also not make sense to discuss strategies to prevent fluctuations for the period of just a single month, March, which would mark the end of the fiscal year, tho.
