    Perhaps they’re betting on people that were holding out on a Switch 2 will see this as their only opportunity to grab one, since it ain’t getting cheaper.

      They’ll get a bump in sales from the announcement, for sure, though it will mean less sales in the long run. They really needed a killer app to push more people to buy it before the price hike. Perhaps they have one coming before Sept., but I kinda doubt it.

        Given that it’s been literally the best selling console in history so far, I’m not so sure they needed a killer app, which they already have in both DK Bananza and Pokopia.
