The things sell like hot cakes. I think Nintendo has said they won't have enough production to meet demand next year as well.

Yea the older model and the light should be seeing reductions with the new one out. But of course, its Nintendo and they dont do sales.

Price will probably drop when the next generation of consoles comes out. Probably around 2024/2025.

Is that Aussie bucks or something?

And it doesnt have price cuts because theyve sold about 93 million of the things.

It is the hottest console of this generation.

In addition, nintendo rarely reduces prices of games or consoles in the past.

In addition, there was a shortage through the entirety of 2020 making them sell for $600 on secondary markets.

Now, you can easily find switch but guess what...
You can't easily find PS5 or Xbox so.... switch doesn't have much competition.

But, if you think none of this matters, consider that you are right. An old product should go down over time.
Yet with other no game related products, does this happen? And yet you might excuse them because corporations need profits.
Time for us to open our eyes and look beyond the veil.
greed.

Nintendo has no competition whatsoever since the DS and Wii came out. If you even argue with that, you have some bent, twisted personal issue with them. Everything else is their own separate lane or market and the biggest decision about Nintendo and some other thing is if you'll own them both. That is it.

The sales of their hardware prove it. The only thing that could force them to reduce their (already low) prices would be if the product sucked and didn't sell well. Customers have no problem buying their stuff worldwide at the price they ask, so why should the question even be asked?

All versions of the Switch could be priced another $100 more and still sell well. They're selling amazingly at their current price.

I hope next gen Nintendo fails. I never said this about a company that was not like throwing trash in our waterways. But honestly how they do their pricing sucks and they need to be taken down a peg. Also since more people played ninrendo when they were kids that have their hooks in people for life.

Nintendo thinks too highly of themselves and thus, doesn't decrease the price. It has nothing to do with demand levels. The Wii U was never lowered and that shit sold like crap.
