The strategy aims to preempt the frenzied rush of consumers clamoring for the new device, thereby circumventing the common pitfalls of stock shortages that often plague new console releases — reminiscent of the PlayStation 5 launch debacle.
Price and Display Considerations
Priced at an estimated $400, industry analysts suggest that the decision to opt for an LCD screen may be part of an effort to keep costs down initially, with the possibility of an OLED version launching later, much like its predecessor, the original Switch.
