Switch 2 Price Rise (May in Japan, September WW) - $499/499EUR/59,980 Yen

[Kyuu]

Announcing a price hike several months in advance is an interesting strategy to boost sales. Curious how this will pan out. PS5 sales peaked after its first price hike, but unlike Switch 2, it didn't meet demand until its 3rd year, so the impact was harder to calculate.

Switch 2's sales curve will be interesting to follow. Explosive start and high availability meant that it had an unusually strong first fiscal year. So we're looking at a scenario where the first 10 months may actually be stronger than the next full year which is getting a (luckily small/moderate) price increase. But the boost from FOMO may outweigh the loss in sales from September until March.
