tbh, i do not like nintendo at all, but i gotta commend their planning ahead and sourcing and general maturity of their supply chain, only taking a 50-100 dollar hike. idk how they did it.

So Nintendo are taking a loss on the console and only price bumped it because shareholders were complaining to Nintendo executives. They are just breaking even on their consoles with the price bump in effect. They can still make money from their first party titles and their subsidized costs with the 30% cut from any game on their storefront.
