It’s surprising because it’s been at 1 and 2 Place. IMO I didn’t expect it to sell THIS well.

I thought you hated Price Cuts. Werent you defending the fact that Nintendo games rarely have discounts? If Nintendo at some point lower the price of the Switch to 200$, i want to see you Front Row complaining to Reggie and Co. |
Games and hardware are hardly the same thing. When manufacturing costs go down, so should the hardware itself. Hardly rocket science.
Nothing wrong with price cuts on games either, but when major price cuts happen a month or two after launch it's not very healthy for the gaming industry in the long term (because they will try to make up the lost revenue in other ways like loot boxes and micro-transactions).

A Switch with sufficient stock at $200 would blow the PS4 away at the same price point. So "nothing" is a bit of a stretch. |
That’s like saying that, if the PS4 dropped the price to $200 in its first year, it would blow the competition away. Meaning of course a new system at $200 would sell well. I wonder how well the Switch would be doing if it released at $400 like the PS4.

If a game sold enough that it covered the development cost and then some, its price could and should be lowered, specially if the game is old.
If a game receives a “major price cut” so close to the release, that because it flopped and that is an entirely different scenario.

All the more reason not to be surprised by how well it is selling then.
