Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Switch Price Confirmed via Toy R US & Gameseek UK !!

If it's $250, then it's a really good price.  If it has even one included game at $250, then it's an excellent price.  This could be exactly what Nintendo needs.

Of course, we still don't have enough information.  If $250 is the price for a much inferior SKU then that changes things a bit.

I wouldn't mind Nintendo going "Fuck you, we're suing your asses for billions of dollars!" right now.
There is zero fucking respect from these retailers. This glorification of leaks really grinds my gears...

Sue them for what?  On what grounds?  Unless I'm mistaken, Nintendo does not have the right to set prices in the UK.  Retailers do that themselves.  Once Nintendo tells them the wholesale price, a retailer can determine their own asking price.  I don't see how that would be a leak.

Very cheap! It will seel dozens of millions.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

$250 is going to sell gang-busters.



For $249 US you are getting a decent home console that will have the largest exclusive game library compared to the other systems.

AND THE SYSTEM AND ALL ITS GAMES ARE COMPLETELY PORTABLE TOO. One game purchase will cover you at home and on the go.

Sounds like $249 buys me two systems in one. Can't get a better deal than that.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Switch FC: SW-0398-8858-1969

$300 is the real cost.

Like XBox 360 Tard Pak and Wii U Basic, very few people will buy the $250 SKU, Nintendo likely won't even make many of that model.

This is how companies get away with a "lower price", they know most people are not going to buy that model.

Switch w/Splatoon Remix + 64GB storage is the standard Switch SKU and that will be $299.99 most likely. 

Ya basically the lower price sku is just to make the more expensive one look like a greater deal.

That's the perfect price, this is great if true.

Yep its looking like it will be significantly cheaper to get full access to the Nintendo ecosystem, which is currently $380-500 depending on the 3DS model.

I guess that around $300 for AUD? I guess thats not bad for like having 2 systems. Thats also the same price as buying a New3DSXL + a New Game.

I think it is. If you don't consider the christmas deals that is happening right now (You could get an XONE with 2 games at the same price right now). 

 

But what sucks here is that Nintendo games takes a very long time for their price to get lowered, comparing to PS4 and XONE and PC games. And even if they get lowered...... its not by much. Hopefully they change that too.
