Nintendo Plans on Selling the Switch Without a Price Cut for As Long As Possible - News

The Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017 and has yet to receive a price cut. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa during the latest financial results briefing announced the company plans on keeping the Switch at the full price for as long as possible.
The statement confirms Nintendo will not do a temporary price cut of the Switch for the holiday season, but will likely focus on bundles.
This is not something new for Nintendo, a company that generally waits as long as possible for dropping the price of its consoles and games.

I mean, as long as it's selling the way it is there's no need for a price cut.
They have the Switch Lite and upgraded the original Switch so it kind a had a relative price cut. Anyways not every system needs to sell at bottom prices to be succesful. PS4 also still sells for € 300,-
Nobody would cut prices if they could get away with not doing so.
So I can see them not having or wanting to do this as they continue to evolve and bring out more hardware revisions.
Well, with 3DS it was as short as possible...
Nah, it was as long as possible. Just so happens it wasn't possible to sell a $250 3ds for very long.
