Re: Nintendo Is (Kinda) Returning To Region-Locking With A Cheaper Japanese Switch 2

As someone who lives in Japan, I think I understand this move. Not only has the yen weakened but Nintendo wants to secure sovereignty here by making sure the price is within the purchasing power of the average consumer. They want to avoid the PS5 mistake which increased it's price twice here to match the overseas MSRP, thus resulting in poor sales. Switch keeps outselling the PS5 by a large margin on a weekly basis to this date.
