I plan to take action, so I intend to set a reasonable price.

I’ll sell it to you after I’ve used it for about 5 years since I bought it.

The Switch OLED model is 38,000 yen, so the Switch 2 will probably be 43,000 yen with a 5,000 yen price increase.

And the next Switch 3 (tentative) is 48,000 yen.

Since many anonymous individuals are unidentified, there might be a chance, albeit slim.

>>9

There are probably several executives in upper management.

>>11

It seems like the company is already going downhill…

I wonder if anything fell somewhere, like in the park.

>>12

Speaking of which, I saw on the news yesterday that children playing in the park left two switches on a bench, and a stranger took them, sold them at a store, and got arrested.

It’s $499, but a reliable leaker says there will be a discount coupon for the software only for Japan.

>>13

If you believe that leak, is it 49,900 yen?

It’s a relatively easy price to buy at…

>>23

According to a reliable leaker, it seems that the exchange rate will be 100 yen to 1 dollar.

It will probably exceed 60,000.

It’s fine if it’s expensive, just make sure the performance is solid.

I’m going directly to get it from the important person!

Kata CO2

Since the software will sell like crazy anyway, it’s fine to make the console cheaper.

>>22

Certainly, they won’t have a big failure after the Switch.

There isn’t, right?

>>29

I think Nintendo is cautious because there are too many patterns of struggling after big hits like the DS and Wii…

>>29

I think they are quite cautious because new hardware after a big hit has basically flopped.

>>29

It probably won’t sell enough to surpass the Switch.

Well, it’s between 40,000 and 80,000.

But a reliable leaker said it would be released in April…

>>26

Ah, since the Nintendo Direct is in April, will they announce the release date for this month during that Direct? What an amazing surprise!

It seems like the 70,000 is pretty much guaranteed due to the weak yen.

If there are upper management members present, please present the skeleton model.

Forget about the price, how is the performance?

>>30

Equivalent to PS4 Pro

>>39

Make me equal to the pros.

>>52

I understand.

The price exceeds 100,000.

>>61

If a PS5 Pro could be made portable for over 100,000 yen, it would be a revolution.

>>52

It seems that with the heat generation and battery consumption in mobile mode, it won’t be something you can carry around and play with at all!

These days, even if everything is made in China, it would be impossible to do it for 40,000 yen.

I would like about 128GB of built-in storage.

Until the Switch 2 Direct on April 2nd.

I feel lucky if some information comes out.

Can a 70,000 yen gaming console be sold to elementary school students?

>>37

There are quite a few adults who buy 200,000 yen notebooks or gaming PCs for elementary school students…

>>40

If the hardware sales, which are the base, are not doing well, the software won’t sell either…

>>37

It’s fine if the price doesn’t matter because I’m buying for my parents or as a single person.

If Nintendo is willing to sell at a loss, it is theoretically possible to lower the price…

>>38

If it sold like the Switch at a 1000 yen deficit, wouldn’t that simply mean a 100 billion yen loss?

If we think in terms of price, it’s like Nintendo selling the PC Engine or Neo Geo; I wonder if it would work.

I’m already prepared because both the PS5 and the RTX 5000 series have seen eye-popping price increases.

The prices of semiconductor products have risen too much.

The WiiU route aside, it seems possible to have a path similar to the 3DS where it starts off poorly and then recovers after lowering the price…

I can’t believe the Switch costs 75,000; hardware has become so expensive.

Is the anti-reselling measure just mass production, perhaps?

Isn’t there some other way to use the account a bit more?

>>47

I think manufacturers are much more seriously considering countermeasures against reselling than anonymous people.

>>47

For example, if selling directly from the manufacturer, you can use an account method, but forcing retailers to do so would be a violation of antitrust laws.

It’s a distribution problem, and unfortunately, there are not many resale regulation measures that manufacturers can take.

>>72

That’s why credit card payment exclusivity was quite gray legally.

>>72

There’s no way I’d sell it that way.

>>47

Even the alarm clock had that result.

Well, kids don’t really have a reason to immediately buy a new model for 70,000 yen anyway.

I just play with the switch I have as it is.

First of all, the built-in GPU has increased drastically in price.

It seems painful that the current sales points are only the same as those of the Switch.

When the Switch was released, no one had a Switch, so it was appealing, but now most households have a Switch.

Let’s deliberately release it for 3,500 yen.

>>55

I can’t even recover the cost of the exterior plastic!

If we don’t do it well, it seems like we might end up repeating the mistakes of the 3DS.

I wonder if they are really thinking about something.

>>57

I think it’s better than the Wii U.

The price doesn’t matter; it’s about whether I can buy it on the release date.

The hardware is not that expensive, is it?

The salary is low.

I wonder if they can do something about resale measures…

>>60

If we’re talking fundamentally, there’s nothing we can do but have the government take action, like with the ban on mask reselling at the start of COVID.

The advantage of portability for Nintendo hardware has diminished in modern times, so it seems to depend more on the demand for exclusive games rather than hardware performance.

It’s 70,000 yen plus consumption tax, right?

It’s really hard when you have the money to buy something, but there’s nothing to buy.

Do something about it.

Domestic price forecasts are futile.

I understand that the president knows that our customers are looking for affordable prices and he says he will make an effort.

It would be better to wait until April 2nd.

>>70

Why did you come to this thread?

>>76

The thread for Switch2 that was standing at midnight disappeared, and it seems like they are continuously starting new threads for Switch2.

I thought the guy was in an excited state, so I came to check on him, and it turned out he was having a price war that I wanted him to be in.

>>89

It’s an illness.

I bought a Switch, but I’ve only installed Minecraft.

First of all, it’s unlikely to exceed 50,000.

There’s no reason to set a price that children can’t afford.

>>75

That’s right.

It should be around 30,000.

Even with bulk production, there must be a limit to cost reduction since the Steam Deck is priced that way.

But in 2, the Joy-Con becomes a mouse…

>>81

And the parent’s wallet strings are incredibly tight.

>>85

If the parent is the type to play games themselves, the child is lucky by chance.

If parents have no interest in games, their children will be lost.

Either it’s 30,000 yen, which is no different from the Switch, or selling it while bleeding red ink.

It’s fine even if it’s 100,000, but I want the government to provide it for free to everyone.

>>83

Speaking of which, since they distributed 100,000 yen during the Corona period, it’s possible to distribute the Switch 2 as well.

I wonder why they’re holding back so much information.

As expected, there is a lot of ridiculous information flying around under the guise of leaks.

In modern parenting households, it’s quite impossible to come up with 50,000.

>>87

But you do give them iPhones, right?

>>90

There are hardly any households that would go out of their way to give the latest model.

>>90

Smartphones have become essential to life now…

But games are different; this is something Nintendo itself is saying.

>>90

It’s secondhand…

>>90

It seems like you’ve never bought a smartphone by yourself.

>>87

I think you can do it normally.

>>99

The current generation of children is the grandchildren of the bubble generation.

>>87

Parents are also part of the gaming generation.

>>105

It’s tough to take 50,000 from my dad’s pocket money!

>>108

My mother is also from the generation that plays games.

>>110

My sister and her husband are 40, and their child is in the third year of junior high, but they are stealing the child’s Switch and playing retro games on NSO…

>>87

Don’t let such poor people have children without a plan.

>>107

The social trend like that is pushing the declining birthrate, so it’s tough…

Let’s have grandma and grandpa buy it for us with their pension.

>>88

It’s good if the grandchild demands it.

>>88

Due to the declining birthrate, the focus is concentrated on one child…

It’s over for this company now.

If the government distributes another 100,000 units, it would sell 100 million units even at a fixed price of 100,000.

If the price is actually on the higher side, I have a feeling that the demand for gifts for grandchildren could be quite promising.

It’s the end of the Cat Kingdom.

It seems that kids get bullied if they don’t have an iPhone… What kind of hell are schools?

>>101

Which country is it?

Preparing the base for pounding?

My parents are from the wartime generation, so that’s impossible for me…

>>106

It’s about time for me to buy things for my child as a parent generation…

It would be good if the Switch could also be paid in 48 installments.

https://www.famitsu.com/article/202412/26998

Rather, I even think they might be testing it since they sold it exclusively to subscribers with a wake-up clock last year.

Well, the reservations flooded in and it got overwhelmed!

>>115

Isn’t it possible because it’s being sold at the retail stores that your company operates?

If we sell Switch2 at My Nintendo Store, it would violate antitrust laws, right?

>>139

Do you not know that the Switch console is still being sold?

>>144

So why did you say it would violate antitrust laws?

>>147

Why do you think I said that?

>>149

Then why did you cut in from the side and respond?

Are you a psychopath?

>>152

It’s not me, so I don’t know.

>>157

Please don’t reply, abnormal person…

>>161

Did you understand the explanation of someone who isn’t me?

>>139

It seems like there’s some misunderstanding.

If it’s a store directly operated by Nintendo (like the Nintendo Store), it’s fine to impose any purchase limits, but it’s not acceptable to force retailers like electronics stores and game shops to sell in this way.

The retail store I am referring to is the latter.

>>156

Nintendo has not officially announced anything about selling that way at all.

You’re going to run afoul of antitrust laws! It’s illegal! To put it mildly, your delusions are getting ahead of you.

What is the purpose of consumer finance?

What is the purpose of paying in installments?

It’s probably the most cost-effective entertainment after books in a family without money.

>>118

The smartphone I already have is probably better in terms of cost performance.

That kid is going to come and give you a hand massage again, right?

I saw 49,800 yen on Yahoo Comments.

What kind of household did you grow up in where your parents won’t spend several tens of thousands on a game console for you?

>>121

Imagination can’t be bought with money…

>>121

Is that a claim that I was spoiled while growing up in a wealthy family?

>>136

Ah… this…

Nintendo should just make a phone.

>>122

Like Vita?

>>128

Is Vita calling…?

Even in this day and age, there are parents who have no interest in games.

Whether a child can get a game is completely up to chance.

Since playing games makes one become like a monkey, the policy is not to provide them.

Kids playing battle royale are really like monkeys…

It’s a double standard; a little while ago, people were criticizing anonymous leaks, but now they’re okay with it…

>>135

It’s not like the anonymous person is the same individual…

>>140

I’m perceiving the existence of “Anonymous” as a single personality and I’m having a dialogue (response) with that entity!

Sometimes there are people who are under that illusion, but I wonder what that’s all about.

It seems like there’s some kind of obstacle!

Bubble

Bubble Jr.

Bubble grandchild

These guys are especially rich even in Japan.

>>129

An idiot who posts without knowing the price of the game console.

Not everyone likes games just because they’re kids, you know.

There are plenty of other hobbies out there.

There are parents who spend money on that.

Why are you making such a big fuss as if it’s the end of the world over around 70,000 to 80,000? Just buy it normally.

>>142

If you say something like that, you’ll hear strange defenses like “It’s true for singles, but those with families can’t afford it.”

Something you can use for 10 years, if you don’t have it, you’ll be left out for 10 years, the number one children’s entertainment for 10 years.

This is 50,000 or 60,000, you know?????

What kind of family can’t buy this for their child?????

>>145

No matter how you look at it, the hardware generation transition has been thought about for too long.

>>148

The Switch is 8 years old now, so saying it can be used for 10 years isn’t wrong.

>>155

The argument was too vague and didn’t work.

Do you think that if I play sports, I don’t play games?

>>163

Huh… a counterargument?

You just want to respond, right?

>>155

Do you understand how bad it is to not be able to join in on conversations about games in class during your elementary and middle school years?????

>>164

Were you bullied? How sad.

>>164

I was never able to fit in.

>>174

That’s crazy.

>>155

Even people who play sports also play games, right?

The smartphones and gaming consoles that kids today take for granted typically cost several tens of thousands of yen, and a regular working parent can usually afford to buy that for them.

It’s so sad to insist that only wealthy families have such things!

The transition between Switch generations is drawing attention for being the longest in Nintendo hardware history.

What are you estimating for that longer ten years?

When I heard that my cousin couldn’t get a PSP and only had the MH2G game, I cried.

But looking back now, I don’t understand why just the software.

Rather, it’s the nameless ones who probably don’t understand the lives of ordinary families.

If you understand how elementary school students who don’t own a gaming console are treated in class, there’s no choice but to buy one; that’s the case for ordinary households.

>>159

It must be a household that could buy it just by saying that everyone in the class has one…

>>162

I’m sorry.

When I was on my way to work, I looked around on the train and it feels like everyone is holding a smartphone, wearing earbuds, or playing a game console…

>>159

Normal families have been decreasing recently.

>>166

The ordinary has decreased, and my Japanese is also not reliable.

This is, after all…

It seems my nephew playing Minecraft on a tablet is in the minority.

>>167

Undoubtedly a minority.

Throw away a community that excludes you just because you don’t have the game.

>>168

If an elementary school student does that, they’ll be on the fast track to being bullied.

>>172

It will be done.

Why do we need to buy the latest models every time?

Ah, this is for one person.

If it’s 59,800 yen, I’ll buy it.

Because you’ll be outmatched by the latest models.

I have the impression that children from ordinary families are playing on their Switch in the park.

Since the PS Pro sells for 150,000 yen,

The Switch can be sold for 80,000 yen.

>>187

Not selling.

It’s obvious there’s one person who stands out because they’ve been using commas all this time.

It’s probably 59,800.

People who say 40,000 should consider the exchange rate when the Switch was selling for 1 unit.
