Nintendo never lower their prices. Wii U was still selling for full price long after it's death.
Noah Cook
It isn't. They make shittier cell phones that cost twice as much.
Jeremiah Wood
It’s really not just get a job
Ayden Lewis
$300 for the console
$70 for the controller
$40 form replacement Joycon when one of yours inevitably starts drifting
$30 for a case

becuase they know, no matter what, Nintendo fans will do whatever it takes to buy anything with an Nintendo logo.
They are second behind Apple in terms of absolute zealotry.
And before people say I'm a fanboy, you can see a few titles from first party Xbox/PC/PS4 that don't sell that well. And before you make that lame ass excuse of "hurr durr, those game are the suxor", even shit ass games like Mario Tennis Aces, that last Yoshi shit game, got free passes (as usual).
Dominic Fisher
A cell phone as much more purpose than a fucking handheld (or was it console? Nintendo keeps flip-flopping the narrative).
Next, you're going to tell me PCs are obsolete, since we are eventually going to be able to do everything on a TV? GTFO, SHILL.

It's worse in Japan. Used switches are going for around $380 USD due to high demand.

GOTCHA.

Because you fuckers all bought it in droves at said price and Nintendo knows it.
Had the Switch pulled a 3DS in terms of no fucking sales, then Nintendo's hand would've been forced and this overpriced tablet would be at $200 as it should be and packed with a game.
Andrew Morales
I don't think that was implied at all. I'm just talking pure hardware. The manufacturing cost of cell phones that cost twice as much of the Switch are probably lower.
Levi Walker
Yoshi sold pretty poorly and Mario Tennis's core gameplay is kino. Stay mad at Nintendo's success though.
Kayden Wood
How?
Dockless Switches run around 200$ usd new
Jose Powell
kid on the way and getting kicked out of the country soon. 200$ for a console is viable but 400 is not

Thomas Clark

>even 2+ year old games are still full price because Nintendo
>$90 for a non shit controller
>$30 for online
>extra for storage
I swear Nintendo is doing everything it can to get me from buying this thing
Carter Baker
I think they're quite reasonably priced. The build your own bundle got me the switch, breath of the wild and a case for about £300.
Lincoln White
The last time I heard someone call the Switch is expensive was from an 18 year old that was still studying.
Finish your education and get a job, OP.

Fathers of nintendo fans have a lot of secrets to keep.
James Gutierrez
Why do they charge more for having the worst performing games?
Christian Morris
Nintendo has lowered their console prices before. NES, SNES, GameCube, Game Boy Advance SP, various DS models, 3DS, 2DS, all got price cuts and that's the ones I know off the bat. Wii U they were being retarded with everything they did because they were still fat off the Wii.
Switch is still full price because it's relatively still new, like only 2.5 years old right now, and people are still buying it pretty damn well.
David Green
it's a premium product
you can play aaa games on the go
buy a used 3ds if you want something cheap
Sebastian Flores
>Why is [overpriced product] so expensive?
Because fanboys and dumbasses still buy it fully priced. That's why Apple's products are expensive, and that's why Nintendo's games/consoles don't go down in price.
