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 Not everyone is going to pay 500 for outdated S2 specs to play just first party titles which are not many.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 👍

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!
Lol..if you have your own golf cart I don't think $50 will affect your budget.

I did the Sam's Club $400 deal for one kid, but missed the $450 deal earlier this month, so I paid full price ($500) on Amazon, worried that they would go OOS once they all went back up to full price and all the deals disappeared.
I just did the customer service chat with Amazon and got them to issue a $50 credit. They said they don't offer price match, etc, but still offered "one time compensation".

Good deal, but Mario Kart World was a major letdown. The "open world" is bland, and a lot of times 8 Deluxe on Switch 1 actually looks better. Hopefully they'll add some updates to expand the world and add more maps/characters, but for now it's just meh.

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

It only came out 6 months ago so there isn't a ton right now (of course) but the newest games are Mario Kart, Kirby Air Riders, Donkey Kong, Metroid 4, Hyrule Warriors, and Hades 2.

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!
The paypal 20% off the price of $450 was great. Still, if you like MK $50 off is nice.

It's a shame they never had the non-Mario Kart bundle for $400. Would've been on that pretty quick myself.

Switch 1 games....it is basically a switch 1 with a better screen and little more performance.

Then all the games are guess what , yes , all the same ones you have been playing for last 20 years with slightly newer graphics.
Respectfully,
Nintendo
