Nintendo dropping the price of the Switch in only one region would exist fairly unlikely, so if this rumor is legit, this will probably exist a worldwide toll drop. The price driblet in America would likely be roughly the equivalent of the euro drop, so expect the organisation to get from $300 to $250 or $240. It isn't expected the Switch Calorie-free volition receive a price cut.

Of course, take this with a grain of common salt for now. If this rumor is indeed the real bargain, it is somewhat odd timing by Nintendo, as they're about to launch the Switch OLED model at a higher $350 toll signal in October. And then over again, perhaps they realize that hardcore fans are going to buy the OLED model regardless of price and are looking to bring some more coincidental gamers into their tent during what is sure to exist a very competitive holiday flavour.

The Nintendo Switch OLED model launches on October eight. Anybody out there still holding out on the Switch? Would a price cut finally get y'all to bite?
