I'm not sure if the price matters that much to the demographic. Their main target audience isn't gonna consider a handheld gaming PC to begin with.

    Yeah people forget that Switch 1 sold like hotcakes when scalpers were selling it for $500. And it was probably parents who bought them so they could be sure to have a Switch under the Christmas tree.

    So yeah of course Nintendo has raised the price, they want consumers to pay them $500 and not a scalper.

    Their demographic used to include families with multiple systems due to the hardware being cheaper than the competition. They've never sold a basic console for nearly as much as the Switch 2, nor have they charged $70 and $80 per game as a standard. Maybe it will go well for them, we'll see, but there's no precedent for the way Nintendo's pricing things now.
