I'm finally starting see used Switch 2s going for $100 off the msrp price so it's finally becoming reasonable to buy a switch 2 used

So will bundles be $550 now? Or will the pack-ins be sold at a loss?

For those keeping track at home, the "revised price" is the same as the original price for a bundle (that is, a Switch 2 with ONE game).

I think I already made this joke for Microsoft, but whatever:

>”Everyone else is raising their hardware prices, leaving Nintendo in a unique position to win back the family market with an affordable console. And with the Switch’s lifetime sales extremely close to surpassing the PS2’s re-re-re-“adjusted” sales, it’s more important than ever that we keep momentum strong for the Switch 1-“
<“RAISE THE FUCKING NINE YEAR OLD CONSOLE’S PRICE NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Time to pay $500+ so you can play Star Fox 64 for the 4th time

Takashi Tezuka is retiring from Nintendo next month.

It's so over.

For those keeping track at home, the "revised price" is the same as the original price for a bundle (that is, a Switch 2 with ONE game).

Revised price for US/Canada doesn't come into effect until September. Sales have been strong in Japan, but weaker than expected in North America. I wonder if announcing a price increase this far out is an attempt to spur North American sales.
