    HUH? Scandi prices dropping for real? Haven't seen anything in Sweden at least.

    They managed to get it down before the closing hours... We could probably see them go even further down when they open tomorrow.

    Do you have price match over there ?

    I guess we will see. Hopefully the price goes down in all of Scandinavia cus it is just wayyy above the rest of the world.

    There are some retailers here who do price matching. Don't remember which ones off the top of my head. I haven't preordered the console. If I decide to buy it I'll just swing by some local retailers in the area cus I'm pretty sure that supply won't be an issue here. I got the original Switch on day 1 with ease. Didn't need to preorder to secure one. It was available everywhere.

    Only reason I'm preordering now is because of the pricematch, let's say it goes to 3400 dkk but the price goes back to the price we saw at first 4799 dkk then I will be guaranteed to get it at 3400

    Ah, makes sense. That's good. For now I'll just keep an eye on the prices online and see if I come across any changes in Sweden.

    Are people really this sensitive about what Doug Bowser very politely and reasonably suggested for those who can't afford a Switch 2 right away? Come on now. If I go to an Apple Store and I can't afford the latest iPhone then yeah, perhaps it would be wiser to go for the previous iPhone or wait until I get my money up. Just because I desperately want something doesn't mean the company somehow owes me a price cut, as much as I may want it.

    The crazy pricing also could be a stealthy tactic to boost eshop sales, maybe there will be a voucher program and that’ll make the games affordable. Therefore convincing people to buy more digital with the vouchers. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was discussed.

    It's just a dumb thing for a higher-up to say. Yes, it's a reasonable point, but it's also tone-deaf. This is coming from someone who thinks the console price is reasonable for the specs backing it up. No s*** people can buy a Switch 1 instead, but that's not acknowledging why the Switch 2 is $450 (for now).

    Though, people are comparing it to Mattrick's statement way back, but in context, what he said was far worse than what Bowser said in the interview.

    He already gave reasons for the 450 price point, referring to the hardware improvements, games and features etc - the usual things. People can take it or leave it or wait until they have the money. I have no problem with his statement.

    You gotta see it from a PR perspective. Like I said, he's not wrong but it was dumb to say it. Media will pick up on s*** like that. He shouldn't be the one saying it.
