In the statement, Nintendo said that, as previously stated at the 82nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, although some countries are currently experiencing inflation or rising purchasing costs, Nintendo has no intention of raising hardware prices and will continue to prudently determine its future pricing strategy.
Meanwhile, while the final consumer arrival price is determined by the retailer, there is absolutely no intention, at least on Nintendo’s part, to raise the transaction price of the hardware.
This statement was made public, meaning that Sony became the only manufacturer in the game console “Royal Family” that chose to raise the price, which will certainly have an impact on the sales of PS5.
