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. 

Considering about what ? Adding a few more hundreds of units to the total sales? Sure. Reaching 160M only by this (if it really happen like the way I explain it)? No.

More like I wanted to see what people think about that. But yeah, if for real Switch 2 prices go up, and Switch 1 don't, I can see a little better legs for the Switch 1 than originally expected, but only slightly better. Not enough to reach 160M. Like 500k to 1M at most for the total sales. But @PAOerfulone has a point about the price hike of the Switch 2. Then again I won't be surprised if after all they just go out next week and announce it. I can expect everything after the last few price increases of all the manufacturers. This whole thing isn't normal and shouldn't be a real thing.
