| XtremeBG said: So .. with the recent price hike of the one of the current gen systems, and very likely the Switch 2 soon, Switch 1 will be the most affordable system by a long shot. At just 230$ for the Lite or just 340$ for the OG model, this might be enough to prolong it sales .. for how long however? The Switch 2 price will most likely go up if not by 100$, then surely by at least 70$. So the cheapest gaming system above the Switch 1 will be close to 200$ more, and if you look at handhelds, then around 300$ more, which is big. And even if you compare the OG model instead of the Lite, the difference will again be a whopping 200$. |
Wow, you re considering.
Despite being more optimistic than you tregarding the legs of NS, i dont expect to be benefited much from what you state, which is factual of course.
Will that difference make all of a sudden people in the west to opt for ns1? Perhaps, They can be deeming it pricey too for its age (except in france?)
In japan there is an affordable region locked version of ns2.
And who knows, They might even increase NS price, unless They decide to offset less sales for ns2 with pushing the "affordable" predecessor. Plus they can rush the release of ns2 lite imstead.
As for the height of price hike, you must be right. Nintendo can take some hit to avoid higher raise.
They have been selling ns at the same price nine years...
Extremely successful mario movie and soon its sequel.
They certaintly can withstand some loss, the matter is if They are willing.
