For almost six years, believe it or not, the Nintendo Switch on the market. While the console was able to blossom into one of the best-selling consoles of all time during this time, the handheld has by no means become cheap to this day. Switch sales have also been declining for some time, as Dualshockers emphasizes. Sales figures in the first quarter of the 2023 financial year fell by 22.9 percent compared to the previous year. Yet despite those numbers or the console’s age, it doesn’t look like we’re expecting a price drop any time soon. This emerges from a Q&A session that took place after Nintendo’s latest financial report.
No price drop for the Switch
Shuntaro Furukawa, the company’s president, commented on a question about the Switch’s pricing strategy.
“While we’re doing business with the Nintendo Switch (buy now €338.00 ) To continue, we have tried to preserve the value and prices of both the hardware and the software as much as possible. We don’t think the strategy needs to be changed right nowFurukawa said. The company’s president also stressed that with the console’s immense success, it would be difficult to keep hardware sales at the long-standing levels.
New games and evergreen titles should possibly motivate further sales of the Nintendo Switch. Whether this will actually succeed in the next 12 months is another question. For example, recently there was a rumor that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom the last big blockbuster for the switch should appear.
