Given the launch MSRP was freaking 329 euros - which comes out to $388 - that's not too surprising.



No the launch price was 299, and then go up to 329 but now you can easily find a new Switch around 289€

You got it right. $299 was the US launch price, it was $399 in Canada.

I was talking about the European Union launch price which is listed as being 329 euros.  



Seems more of a price adjustment based on currency. CAD$ have been in the range of 0,80$ for some time now.

I was wondering if it was something like that, a 5% price cut is kind of pointless otherwise.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
