Might become more common. Reports yesterday were that this was the worst November for video game hardware sales in the US in 20 years by dollars spent, and the worst in 30 years by units sold.

If you buy this for just Nintendo first party titles by all means. System should have been priced at $400 to begin with with a game.
It has been over a year since I've played a first-party Nintendo game and my Switch has just been sitting there gathering dust (my kid's and wife's lites have been gathering dust much longer than mine has). If I can buy a modern Switch that has much better performance than the old one and actually has some games coming out for it then that's the route I'm going. It would be dumb for me to not buy a new Switch at this point if it will actually get some use versus the old ones.

The only thing the initial NS2 sales numbers at release says is that there was supply and enough hardcore fans to buy it. Definitely a first for any major console launch. It's not just a one month of sales in a vacuum situation. People have been concerned since July, when supply seems to have satiated enough that it was readily available at US stores. This was unheard of previously. When was the last major console launch you've seen that's done that? I certainly can't think of one. You know where the NS2 is hard to get? In Japan, where the Japanese language only model is priced well below other markets, about $130 USD lower than the US base price. It's no surprise it's still hard to get in Japan. Some would argue that's what the NS2 should have been priced at worldwide. If the NS2 had launched with a $350 launch price worldwide, we would be having a different discussion entirely. The holiday was supposed to be the indicator to go with the other indicators already seen since launch. A little known gaming device like the NEX challenging the Switch 2 on Black Friday definitely wasn't something I had on my bingo card.
As for the pricing it's pretty obvious why the pricing is the way it is for anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together. Trade wars are bad for everyone. The dumbest thing ever. And now we're stuck in 4 years of will they, won't they. Any company dumb enough to not pad their international sales in expectation are in for a rough time.
When economies are bad people buy cheaper stuff. That's just a reality. It was a rough time to release the Switch 2, but I doubt they could just sit on it either. And watching MS and Sony raise prices. the skyrocketing of RAM next year. it's probably priced accurately

Trade wars is another excuse commonly used. That excuse fell apart about the November 2025 numbers, too. Nintendo seems to be trying to pad just Japan sales numbers while ignoring everywhere else. If this was just simple or strictly trade wars, no reason other regions (outside the US) aren't getting the aggressive price. The holiday sales numbers that we know of for other regions, are just as bad, or worse than the US's numbers. Japan's numbers seem to be the exception.
What happens to NS2 when Nintendo has to raise prices next year. If this holiday's numbers are like this, how much worse will it be next holiday. The economy and trade war aren't getting better, that excuse can only last so long.
I just think it's funny. people clown on Nintendo and complain all the time. Mostly people who never buy one anyway. Then when they consistently outsell console generation competition, everyone seems to forget the next time around. it's like repeated dejavu.
I have all 3 consoles, just kind of funny that fanbois and haters still exist. I guess when the rest of life seems pretty dismal prospect wise, getting online and pretending a company whose almost continuously seen success is going to see it's downfall is cathartic in some way?

I'm the opposite, I've yet to buy a console this generation, with the NS1 being the only console I bought last generation. I'm also, a PC gamer, so not missing out much without an Xbox/PlayStation for several generations now.
Edit: Nevermind. Was able to price match via chat for in-store pickup.
