Rumor: Switch would receive a price cut ahead of the OLED model launch

Looking ahead to the Switch OLED model release next month, there is a story that goes around the base Switch model (which originally launched in March 2017) receiving a price cut. This information comes from ‘Nintend’Alerts‘- a Twitter account with more than 80,000 subscribers which “has proven to be reliable and reputable in the past”.

The source claims that this price drop will take place next week in France – reducing the cost of the system from € 329 to € 270.

While there is no word on a similar price drop taking place in other parts of the world, it wouldn’t necessarily come as a surprise if Nintendo or retailers in other places took the same course of action elsewhere. . It’s not clear at this point whether this would be temporary or permanent, and there are suggestions that the new model could replace the original system.

Could you see a price drop like this happen before the new model launches? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
