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 Not everyone is going to pay 500 for outdated S2 specs to play just first party titles which are not many.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 👍
Just picked mine up from Best Buy, and walked by the games section, the Mario Kart World Switch 2 game was $80 pretax, which made me feel a bit better on the game included version for $50 more. Also snagged the Switch 2 travel case for $20 while I was there. Daughter is going to be so pumped!
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 normal price of the bundle is $500, you only get to $450 if you buy the console alone. So, yes, it is a good deal for a system that just released 3 months ago. Better than buying a PS5 that is more expensive today than when it released 5 years ago.
I assume if we like Mario kart this is better than the microcenter 400$ deal for console only. Unless we think Mario kart will drop below 50 soon... thoughts?
Nintendo doesn't drop prices on their games. This is a solid deal if you want Mario Kart.
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
Is it actually better than the OLED S1?

Does it come with a 4k disc drive? Can you watch movies with it? What are some new gen ground breaking graphics for it? Kirby? Not everyone is into colorful games meant for kids, nintendo is lucky theres more kids in the world than grown ups who play video games. Why not bring up the Xbox series s or x? Can I play battlefield 6 on the switch? How is it better? You saying switch 2 has better games than thr ps5?
You obviously don't care for Nintendo so why are you trolling here? Nintendo has their fans and that really played out when the Super Mario movie made a load of money at the cinemas. I have a feeling the sequel (Super Mario Galaxy) will make more!
Didn't that get fixed like the Sunday before cyber Monday?
You could still use it but ONLY for one purchase. When it got fixed it stopped being applicable to every single purchase which honestly was kind of crazy and I'm surprised they're honoring all of those purchases lol
That's interesting, they reached out to you proactively or did you contact CS?
They sometimes automatically have systems that do this when you start a return, but it's usually for for very large items that would cost more to return due to shipping costs. This happening for a Nintendo Switch is surprising.
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.
Costco deal still active. Still 499 despite it claiming it'd end yesterday. Price good through 12/25.
The 50 off coupon is good through January 18th.
Personally even without the 50 off coupon, I'd probably still prefer the costco deal simply for the unlimited return period. Especially if you need or can use the nintendo online aspect of the costco bundle.

Costco is offering an additional $50 off coupon? Costco app is showing $499.

You obviously only care for nintendo! You don't answer any of the questions, and you call me a troll and im not interested in the nintendo switch 2? I had that super mario movie, i have super mario wonders, i have super mario kart eight, i have super mario odyssey, i jave super mario rpg. Super Mario on the Nintendo was the first game I ever beat. You dont know what the hell you are talking about! I don't care about kirby, i don't care about metroid.... So what games is the switch 2 have? When world kind of sucks because of the open world platform of chaotic racing with thirty players? You don't have to down something else to make something better. So are you saying is not catered to kids? People complain about too much call of duty. No one ever complains about too much super mario?
I've owned the PS2, 3, 4, and now 5. We added a SW2 to the SW1. I bought it to play with my kids bc they love Mario. I don't mind the lack of games bc I have a PS5 and a gaming PC. I guess we are blessed with 1st world problems so I don't understand what the issue is?
