It's ok, its all in the past.  It's all about the Switch now :D  ...and lots of Wii U games are getting ported to Switch so anybody that missed out on Wii U wont be missing out for long.

Amiiibos=Profit. Labo=Profit. Classic Nintendo=Profit. Switch Accessories=Profit. Switch Carts=Profit. DL Games=Profit. Switch Consoles=Profit. If they have the capacity now for more consoles maybe instead of price cut, they could bundle in a game for the $300 and break even on that. But it really isn''t necessary...

The Genesis was the best selling 16-bit console in the US between 1991-1994 and Sonic was more popular than Mario during that time frame as well. Sega owned the US during the 16-bit era.

As for the the the $299.99 price point, there have only been two Nintendo consoles ever released at that price point. The NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube and Wii all launched lower than that. Only the Wii U launched at $299.99 and we all see how well that worked out. 

So, Switch is the first console in their entire fucking history that has sold well at that price point and you're telling ME I don't know what I'm talking about? If there's a mirror, go find it, have a good look and say to yourself... "I don't know my history but I will learn and never make this mistake again."

Oh, and in order for Nintendo to end up 1.5 billion poorer they would have had to sell the same amount of consoles at $100.00 less but... (ready for it?)... at $100.00 less? They'd have sold far more than the 15 million that they have. This means more games sold, which means more money earned, which means... overall? Yup, MORE profits. 

You won't get any sort of pricecut at least until the Switch get's it's first internal redesign imo, provided it keeps it's pace.

NVIDIA must be on redesigning the X1 right now, as apparently they want to lock hackers out at a hardware level. Plus a die shrink is probably due as well. That chip won't stay 20nm forever and most of NVIDIA has moved to 14 and 16nm processes, so keeping the 20nm process around for the X1 is just ineffecient. Even with all that I don't expect a price drop before 2019.

Maybe at some point we will see an X2 revision with better battery life and docked performance, but that will probably be a new model.

Sonic more popular than Mario? Extremely debatable

Sega owning the U.S. during the 16bit era?? Also debatable and more than likely false. I'd love to see sales figures, could've sworn the pie was 55/45 or something along those lines.

No, but other companies react faster. Nintendo is just burying their head in the sand until things get really bad.

I think he meant U.S. sales which were much closer but hardly an owning by Sega from my recollection.

Is inflation not a thing?

How would they sell far more than 15 million when they were supply constrained for most of the first year?

Hes right, you dont know what youre talking about.

Switch price increase? I think it's time.
