The biggest complaint about the system over the last month's is there is no games. Lol

The fanboys who had to get one already got one. This fanboy sales of 15-20 million sales was bound to happen no matter what. This was very evident in the 1st 3 month sales numbers. Earlier families that bought previous consoles were pushed out of buying power by the steep price increase. From 200/300 to 500 is steep. Games costing 80 n 90 is way too high when families are struggling to put food on the table. Others who value money are waiting for the price to drop considerably. These 50 or 100 cuts will not work unless it goes back to S1 release prices. Not everyone is going to pay 500 for outdated S2 specs to play just first party titles which are not many. For 3rd party titles they have ps5 n Xbox to run it better. Lack of exclusive titles n repeated rerelease of older titles are not helping with major sales. Not everyone has the time n money to spend on what they've already did.

Lack of chart bursting holiday sales for a newly released console is a big concern. Sales numbers falling heavily behind ps5 that was released 5 years ago gives the real picture. Nintendo's problems are only going to get worse with increasing memory prices, game key card debacle, greedy dlc pricing for unreleased games n share holders pressure for lacklustre showing. This is what happens when you replace people like Iwata who developed games as a passion with greedy money making business men. Nintendo really needs a reality check.

I think they will have to choose 1 of the 3 options..
1. Take a hit in profit by reducing the price to 300 or 350 to increase console sales and continue to make money on game releases. If console doesn't sell, then games don't sell. And reducing price should not be a concern for a billion dollar corporation like Nintendo
2. Wait it out a few years holding on to current prices even if the sales are low n see if the economy improves so many could buy the consoles again. Games sales will be poor as well with this option
3. Release exclusive Mario/Zelda titles that are a huge hit that boosts the console sales. This could take a few more years at the very least. Metroid n Pokemon releases seemed rushed n people have mixed feelings on these

Just my 2 cents.. you have every right to have your own opinion 👍

Good price! IMO the Costco deal that expired yesterday was a tiny bit better (same price but included 12 months online in addition, with $50 email code you could get by chatting an agent) but this is still super solid.

It was released on all of my Amex cards including Green, BCP and BCE in October/November timeframe. If you did not add it back then it's probably too late. I already used mine on 11/19.

Not a bad deal if you didn't get in on the Sam's Club and Costco eShop card method around BF! Also a great way to bank BB Rewards points if you are so inclined (they have 40% off some giftcards using points ATM).

I'm still glad I didn't wait since I've been enjoying Mario Kart for nearly a month w/my kids!

Why this is a super solid deal, if this is the normal MRSP price of the system. The super solid deal is the one that Microcenter has, taking $50 off the regular MRSP price.
The retail price of the bundle w/Mario Kart is $499.99, so you get 10% off.

Not as good as the eShop gc method at 20% off but it's better than nothing!

No Microcenter close, BB is a golf cart ride away, and I waited too long, so this is a solid deal for me. I mean for my kid. Happy Holidays!

So is the target deal with 10% off gift cards stacked with $50 off Mario kart bundle still the best deal so far ?

Love this thing. PC handheld gaming is cool, but the Nintendo games just make this a much better device.

DoorDash has $20 off at BB but it doesn't appear the price has updated there yet

I assume if we like Mario kart this is better than the microcenter 400$ deal for console only. Unless we think Mario kart will drop below 50 soon... thoughts?
