Nintendo's physical price split is "a pro-consumer move," says ex-sales lead, and the company is just passing profits on cheaper digital games back to you while it swims in "Scrooge McDuck money"
Nintendo is implementing a price split for first-party games on the Nintendo Switch, with digital versions being $10 cheaper than physical ones. A former Nintendo sales lead, Sean, suggests this is a pro-consumer move to pass savings from digital sales onto players. He also believes that while some premium physical games might remain expensive, the majority will stay at their current price point, and collectors who value physical copies won't be deterred by the surcharge.
