"If you're in the market for a Nintendo Switch 2 and live close to a Microcenter, you're in luck. The PC store chain currently has the console marked down to just $400 in a surprise last-minute discount for the most popular new gaming hardware of the year. Microcenter is currently advertising the console at $50 off it's regular sticker price."
"It's worth noting that this is only for the standalone console, not the Mario Kart World bundle. If you were planning on also buying that game, which costs an additional $80, you'd basically only be saving $20 off the normal bundle price. Still something, but not as good as the Mario Kart World bundle discounted to $450 that Walmart and some other stores were selling earlier this month."
"Any savings on a new console, especially one that's sold as well as the Switch 2 in its first year, comes as a nice surprise. It's also been an unexpectedly tough holiday season for new console sales. Circana recently reported that only 1.6 million units were sold in November across Switch 2, Switch 1, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, making it the worst pre-holiday sales month for gaming hardware since 1995."
Microcenter has an in-store-only discount on the standalone Nintendo Switch 2, lowering the price to $399.99, $50 off the usual sticker. The discount requires an in-person purchase because Microcenter is not offering shipping, and stock levels vary by store. The Mario Kart World bundle is not included; adding the $80 game nets only about a $20 saving compared with typical bundle pricing, making other earlier bundle deals more attractive. Overall console sales are weak this holiday season, with Circana reporting just 1.6 million units sold across major consoles in November, the worst pre-holiday month since 1995.
