Is this the new baseline for NS2? It has been like that for 3 weeks now

I believe unlike Japan there won't be a significant decrease in sales elsewhere. In Japan it's clear for me Nintendo was heavily subsidizing the console, but couldn't hold the negative margins for console sold forever hence the steeper price increase compared to other markets

They're still heavily subsidizing it. The language locked model is the equivalent of $370 and the Switch 2 is costing them far more than that at this time. They will be losing a lot of money on that model even after the price rise.

The 12gb LPDDR5X and 256gb NAND combined have risen in costs by around $140 since the Switch 2 launch.

We'll have to see what happens after Splatoon etc launches, and yes the drop in other regions won't be as bad.

True, it's still heavily subsidized. Even western model might have been sold at loss right now. We need to wait their next quarterly report and see if their financials are taking a hit by the RAM prices
