ahaha thirs will still sellThey should, I can't help but feel that they set this up themselves with Furukawa (in prior financial briefings/interviews) talking about how their customers expect affordability and that they'll take 'this' and 'that' into consideration when thinking about pricing.
Then we get a $450 system, $80 games, $80 controllers, and $10 freeware games..
Probably, even in a worst case scenario I think it'll sell a lot. I'll be there day 1 at least!
If they gave them a GameCube as a handheld they'd still say it was powerfulahaha thirs will still sell
Software sells hardware. By the time they release the next 3D Mario, Zelda and Smash Bros all of this nonsense talk and misinformation about the dumbest of issues will be a thing of the past
Not so much as a whisper of any of those though. They could be a couple of years away, and I'd be surprised if they ever do another Smash Bros.
I definitely think they will and I also think Mario Kart World Vs. Mario Kart 8 might be indicative of the approach they'll take with it, i.e. a major overhaul/evolution of what we're used to.
This is great for 2 reasons.
One it means Switch 1 will be the highest selling console ever, easily surpassing the PS2.
Two, since Switch 2 is already being subsidized and sold at a loss:
Securities firm believes Switch 2 costs $400 to make, Nintendo will sell at a loss
Gotta pay to playgonintendo.com
It means that the people who can't afford the upgrade yet will still have an option until they can save that extra 100 dollars. It's just amazing to me that with several games like Hogwarts and SFVI the Switch 2 meets or surpasses the XSS. That's with I'm sure much inferior CPU and power setup. Pretty great upgrade considering many here were guessing below PS4 level power before the reveal. Nvidia and Nintendo fucking cooked with this one.
I'm not advocating for higher prices, but we need to understand the complex current economic context. That "fixed" price of $60 is way, way behind the accumulated inflation the United States has endured since the 1990s. Let's not even talk about today's development costs. I think price increases make sense. I don't like high prices. I wish everything were cheaper, but you can't just kick and scream like a child without understanding how the world works.
Exactly. It's the $80 games. If they get away with it the industry will adopt that pricing. There's no good reason to pay that other than Nintendo wanting to squeeze consumers rather than providing real value. It will stifle things as many people won't want to put that kind of money down on a video game.
Another option is to get a 2nd job
Tell this to WiiU shareholders.
Switch 2 is sold at loss ? With that hardware at u$500 ?This is great for 2 reasons.

People wouldn't care so much if Nintendo lowered the prices of their games over time. 3-4 year old AAA games hit $10-20 all the times on sales. Yet you're lucky if Nintendo graces you with a $40 sale on a six year old game.
daddy kutaragi wants you to work extra hours to buy one
