The biggest surprise is they gave people an almost 4 month heads up. Still won't be getting one, not enough games I'm interested in and they seem to be losing their touch with the string of mediocre titles they've been releasing.

    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.
