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.
Bloomberg shared a report today which states that Switch 2 could “become Nintendo’s priciest machine to date, as analysts who regularly communicate with the company and its software and hardware partners anticipate a price tag of $400 or more.” On top of that, there’s the issue of how much Nintendo’s margins could be impacted by tariffs. Still, there’s the sentiment that there’s significant demand among consumers.
