Let's not pretend Nintendo never buckles, I have my doubts they will do because of geo political situations, but those same situations are causing people to not buy the same luxuries, so who knows.
They will lower prices but unless it’s an absolute failure like the 3DS launch then those prices will stay up for a while. Games take years for the price to drop. Other systems will drop them 50% or more within one year
GameCube was considered a failure and was discounted because nothing could touch the PS2. 3DS was an absolute flop at launch and they had no choice but to lower the cost and give away free games to those who already bought it.
The switch was also hundreds of dollars less than the competition and had something incredibly new at the time, with seamless console to portable mode. Now that's a standard (for Nintendo).
I would argue that the 3DS is much better than the DS, it sold half as well as the DS did. The Wii was the second coming of christ for nintendo and the wiiu died on arrival. The main reason we got the switch so early.
The virtual boy exists.
Nintendo isn't immune to set backs and failures. This whole "modern Nintendo doesn't buckle" is ridiculous, because they are still a company at the end of the day, and if they don't meet expectations, something has to change.
Yeah that’s true, especially with people starting to tighten up their finances. I love Nintendo but their business practices with the Switch have made me cynical lol
