I'm only looking at Amazon UK here but they have Breath of the Wild at £49.99, Mario Kart 8 at £44.99 and 1-2-Switch at £34.99

One store, not surprised it would be Amazon, people better buy quickly before it goes back up.

It's normal for Amazon prices on Nintendo games to be too high at first, actually. Pretty much every single Nintendo game I preordered at amazon got cheaper before release (and I'm talking 10-20€ at times). So it's not just a single retailer probably. Nintendo didn't set RRP's for Europe so retailers made sure to charge as high as possible at first - dropping prices is always an option, increasing them after people preordered isn't. 



Around the Network

Still crazy expensive prices outside Uk, 330 euros for thé Switch and 65 euros for Zelda



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Good. Hopefully they do in other regions.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

UK pricing is now more in line with what's seen in the US, where most Switch games cost $59.99.

 

Someone doesn't understand exchange rates.



Good. More of this.

1. The initial prices were placeholders.

2. Nintendo does not set pricing in Europe, retailers do.

But it would be untrue to say Nintendo Europe isnt thé problem here when Sony/Microsoft/Apple/Samsung/etc dont have this   mucj of Price différence here, the rule has always Been $1 = 1€ for all Electronic devices, i dont know what Nintendo did or didnt do to apply this rule but its on them



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

That's good

Hopefully NA will get a price cut? No? D:
