Not currently considering. Switch 2 has a long life ahead of it. I think at least one more price increase is on the way.
You are correct. It's on us, not them. These are companies, after all. They exist to make money, and they're doing that. If we want consoles to decrease in time like they should, we need to put our foot down and make it happen by not buying them anymore. Since we don't, we only have ourselves to blame.
yeah. really meaningless statement. They literally just raised the price in most of the world 2 months ago. Obviously they aren't gonna be considering already. But 12 months from now is entirely different.
Sounds like there was a good amount of profit margin even in the original price and/or they're willing to accept some losses.
Ofc they won't say this unless they are announcing it. But, they've stock on so much components i do think they are good for a little while.
"Currently" means, they are not considering it for the next 3 months. Just like "there are no plans to replace DS" and announcing 3DS three months later...
They're probably hoping that with the recent deflation signs in the AI bubble and the political backlash mounting against it that they can ride out the rest of this crunch until demand normalizes and supply expands. We'll see if they can, bit the success of their software will be a substantial factor.
"Nobody is considering building a wall" (between East Berlin and West Berlin)... two months later the building of the Berlin Wall began. ;-)
