>Nintendo is increasing the price>People lining up to get it.>Mainstream news stations make a segment of it.I don't remember that other console price increase got this much attention.Oh, and they also increased Nintendo's online price in Japan to the same price as the US one now.https://x.com/hst_tvasahi/status/2052751751321731497
>>738516660>>Oh, and they also increased Nintendo's online price in Japan to the same price as the US one now.Someone mentioned it's possible to stockpile the Nintendo Online membership up to 1095 days (3 years) before the price increase so I guess plenty of japs are doing this too>https://x.com/yukino_san_14/status/2052652341200125978
>>738516660It's the fastest console price hike ever
>>738516660>>738517397the power of FOMO is incredible
>>738516660but my hecking drumpf tariffs!!
>>7385176181st price hike:PS5 hike: ¥13,000Switch 2 hike (Japan-only model): ¥10,000
>>738517618which is worse, one fast price hike or three slow ones?
>sales slowing down>increase priceThis will surely end well
>>738516660Japanese Yen is at decade low
>>738517738Japan is the region getting fucked the most between the shit that affects everyone else (AI, current politics, etc.) and the weak as fuck yen currency.Europe by comparison gets a barely perceptible hike for the console itself.
>>738517834> 2-month noticeI guess there will be a return of lottery 2.0
>>738516660>>People lining up to get it.Anyone who's ever been in the bigger cities of Japan knows that the japanese will line up for just about anything if the line is long enough.
>>738517834>slowing downin your deffective head maybe
This dogshit wasn't even worth the original price
>>738517916Nintendo undervalues Switch 2 in Japan meanwhile the rest of the world pays much more for it. The fact only the japanese-locked system was affected by the price increase should show how much cheaper the Japs can get the console
>>738516660dont post negativity about nintendo. please reserve that for snoy or steam chud stuff.
>>738518061>should show how much cheaper the Japs can get the consoleThat's not how it fucking works, you're only seeing it from the point of view of a foreigner using your own currency.The native Japanese has been paying the same amount as we did europeans or americans for the Switch 2, and now the Japanese are about to pay MORE once the hike takes effect.
And of course scapler start doing their thing
are they still doing lotteries for the switch 2
>>738518689Not anymore for a while already.But with this influx they(the retailers) might do it again.
>>738518617Scalpers are just the side effect of people being retarded and panic buying. I hope they continue showing Japan how idiotic their consumer habits are
>>738517830>implying it will never ever get another price hike
>>738520641cope
>>738520729thats what you said before the new price hike
