Re: Nintendo Details Switch 2 Price Increase For The UK

Lord

£25, and retail wars in the run up to Xmas plus January sales will devolve that pricing back to £395.
I mean we’ve already had the drop to £365 at many UK outlets rather than the recommended £395. So who really will sell it at £419 other than Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo Will Stop Selling The Original Switch From February 2027

Lord

It’s interesting to think in 6 months time the S1 will be discontinued. But how many will be produced in the next 6 months?
Also they won’t price cut because that would undermine the S2 sales. But they might flood the market with switches so retailers can offer promotions and discounts.
The big question is how much do they want that top spot.

Re: Nintendo May Be The Last Bastion Of Physical Games As Xbox's Project Helix Is Set To Ditch Discs

The big difference here is that Nintendo have always been stingy with the amount of memory space built in to the console at launch.
Where as both Xbox and Sony have bigger internal storage. And bigger expansion options.

If Nintendo were to go digital only they would need to increase what you get with the console and the consoles capable expansion.
Max storage won’t cut it at 1TB.

Will all the systems go to a cloud storage type set up. So you have to access the cloud to play a game rather than it being stored on the console or device.
