One of the bigger questions surrounding Nintendo Switch 2 currently is what the system will cost and when it will launch. We should be getting those answers in the near future, but as the wait continues, there’s a feeling going around that the system could have the biggest launch in game industry history, even if analysts are expecting it to cost more than its predecessor.
