The Nintendo Switch was released in March 2017, but the price of the device hasn’t come down over time, which is otherwise quite common in electronics. The Switch isn’t going to go down in price in the future due to cost, and there’s no need for a discount anyway. At the same time, there is no need to increase the price. That’s what Nintendo boss Shuntaro Furukawa said during the latest financial review.
“With respect to hardware, the prices of some materials have dropped, but the overall cost remains high.”
“Currently, we have no plans to reduce the price of our hardware during this fiscal year. On the other hand, while we also have no plans to raise prices, the yen remains weak, and procurement costs remain high, so We continue to monitor the situation carefully.”
