Nintendo Silent on Switch 2 Price

Author : David Mar 14,2025

Nintendo is carefully considering several factors to determine the price of the upcoming Switch 2. While analysts predict a $400 price point, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledges the significant changes in inflation and exchange rates since the original Switch's 2017 launch. He emphasizes the need to balance these economic factors with consumer expectations for Nintendo products, stating a final price remains undecided.

The original Switch's $299.99 launch price, maintained for years, provides a key benchmark. However, rising costs and inflation, as seen in price increases from Sony and Microsoft, necessitate a reevaluation. A $400 price for the Switch 2, a predicted increase from the original model and the $350 OLED model, seems plausible given anticipated improvements in power and features. The $200 Switch Lite remains a lower-priced option.
