This is the part that both amazed and confuses me about Nintendo. They refuse to do proper sales on the Switch hardware, and yet all they have to do is have a decently discounted sale and if they sell 1 game per console they're already back in the black. All their profit comes from the games, whereas the choice of buying a console for the consumer is high% the price of the console and only low% the price of games.

The Switch is fairly new, it's also selling very very well at full price. So what's the incentive for a sale? Not to mention consoles, especially successful, popular ones, don't see much in the way of discounted price early on. So I guess I'm not sure what the source of the confusion is. It's not like anything weird or unusual is going on compared to the rest of Nintendo's 35 years in the console market, or compared with the console market in general.
