Nintendo has publicly debunked a report claiming that the company is allowing Japanese retailers to earn more from each 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 console sold.

While the Nintendo Switch 2 looks 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:poised to be a success no matter how you shake it, Nintendo has taken some unconventional approaches to the launch of its new console. For example, a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Japanese-only version of the console which is selling for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:20,000 Yen less than the mu♎lti-language version. Even the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Kart World bundle is a bit of an unconventional choice, since the last Nintendo console to come bundled with a game at launch was the Wii back in 2006 (and even then, Wii Sports was only a pack-in after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Reꦆggie Fils-Amié fought for it).

that Nintendo would be giving a bigger cut of every Nintendo Switch 2 sold to retailers. "Store operators will be able to make a gross margin of about 5% on each Switch 2 sold, higher than the informal industry standard of roughly 2%" the report said, adding "The decisio𓃲n will help bolster domestic retailers and ensure the new console is given prominent placement at outlets across the country."

Around four hours later, to debunk the rumour: "A news report related to the wholesale price of Nintendo Switch 2 in the Japanese market was published. We want to clarify that this report is not true. Nintendo does not disclose any information regarding business conditions with distribution and retail partners."

While Nintendo 🌄is well known for not commenting on rumours, on Monday (when this report was published) which likely led the publisher to make a public statement about the report.

The list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 launch games is pretty packed, huh?
