Think its time for Nintendo to drop hardware prices, just bite the bullet and take a small loss on hardware. They havent had a good week since the price increase.

Yeah thats pretty obvious. S2 was super popular in Japan right up until the price increase and it's been a weak system in Japan every since.

There's no way they are making the money back on HW that they are losing on SW from several tens of thousands of fewer people buying the system every single week.

While S2 wasn't doing all that well most months outside Japan due to lack of any must have games on the system, Nintendo dominates Japan so much that the Japanese just didn't care about the lack of games, but it is clear they very much cared about the price.
