Nintendo Switch 2

[Legacy]

Nintendo has put out the $450 price did not account for tariffs. I also saw some reports that one, Nintendo is likely will to see at a loss in order to install the initial user base and two, is trying to ramp up the Vietnam arm of its production chain to minimize the the number of shipments subject to tariffs.

That does not mean the price won’t go up. But it does mean Nintendo doesn’t want to increase it unless it absolutely necessary.

That story is hilarious. Headline each store will have less than 100, the source they show states stores are expecting about 100. Those are 2 very different things. Also 100 consoles per store is very encouraging. Roughly 2,000 stores in US assuming 80 per store(conserving # based on story) you are at 160,000 units just for gamestop in store. Early rumors of Nintendo trying to flood the market seems on track if this story is true.

It’s “less than” because every employee is going to hang on to one in the back.

That doesn't change the numbers each store is expected to receive. It's a story put out to get clicks and scare people. When you do the math it is actually encouraging. Don't know of a launch that has had these kinds of numbers.

That’s actually how I read it which is why I said hopefully it’s smooth.
