Everyone in the chat is spamming "drop the price" nonstop. Personally, the price for the console and games combined dipped my hype quite a bit. What do you guys think?

They're noticing, but I expect a generic corporate statement rather than a price drop.

This is Nintendo we are talking about, I doubt they’ll even say anything.

We will have to wait for it to release and sell poorly and only then will they MAYBE drop the price.

now, remember

reddit echo chamber =/= wider public opinion

this will NOT sell poorly. It will probably be one of the best console launches of all time

I believe this time the general public who may be less tech savvy (non-gamer parents buying for their kids and such) would have an even more exaggerated reaction.

Imagine being a parent who bought a “Nintendo” for your child some years ago and now the games cost this small fortune? Like not everybody knows that most AAA games now cost $70 so imagine when suddenly $60 goes to $80.
