After I feel like I've been ripped off by their last two consoles I will not fucking paying more than that but I want that smash Ultimate but I refuse to fall into this fucking trap again because the only reason I bought the Wii and the Wii u was for Smash and I assumed good games would come out later but not they sucked ass between the Wii and the Wii u I think I have a total of 5 games for those systems. So when are they going to drop the price

As long as they're selling like hotcakes as is, there's not reason for them to.

The 3ds had its price cut by $80 within 5 months, but it was doing very terribly at the time, unlike the Switch.

Nintendo is a toy company. The games are just a means to draw people into buying their hardware (the toy) so it would be morally reprehensible for them to cut prices on it after putting out a fat honey pot like smash out there

It's because Nintendo is one of the stingiest bastards out there. They literally couldn't include a necessary charger in the "New" 3DS models.

Unless the sales are in the absolute crapper, they're not gonna drop it.

Its not them being stingy, its them being business-smart. Theyre selling hand-over-fist so why would they cut the price? Because some guy on the internet said theyre being greedy?

Also, OP, the console has been out for like 2 years now. Take a look at the games. Theres tons of quality titles, and ever-increasing 3rd party support unlike the WiiU.

Yes, that's pretty obvious. That's why I pointed out that unless it's absolutely horrible, it's not going to change. The Wii U didn't even get much.

So while the good sales are the likely reason right now, don't expect one for several years is my point. Even when sales are "ok".

$250 is not much for a console, tbqh. consider how much you spend on your smartphone that only lasts 2-3 years

I understand the point you're making but my phone is a budget model that cost maybe $100 and it has lasted for longer than that

I would say I'm basically an old person but even old people like new phones
