Nintendo says tariffs aren't the reason the Switch 2 costs $449.99
Briefly

Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser discussed pricing for the new Switch 2, set at $449.99, a significant increase from its predecessor. Although some speculate tariffs contributed to the hike, Bowser insists they did not influence the original price. However, following a recent tariff announcement, Nintendo has postponed preorders to evaluate its effects on pricing and market conditions. The higher price reflects the console's enhanced features, including a larger screen and upgraded controllers, aiming to provide consumers with a better overall entertainment experience.
We want to make sure that this is a device that is approachable, that consumers will see as part of their overall entertainment experiences and will understand that it has longevity to it.
The news is fresh, and like many companies right now, we are actively assessing what the impact may be.
