Nintendo announced the Switch 2's pricing at $450, which has drawn attention due to anticipated tariffs and production costs. Bill Trinen emphasized that prices increase over time, driven by new technology and features. He and Doug Bowser clarified that while tariffs were a concern, they did not factor into the initial pricing. As speculations arise about a potential price hike, analysts suggest that Nintendo believes the market will accept this price point. Additionally, coming games are also priced higher, indicating a shift in pricing strategy for the new console.
"Obviously, the cost of everything goes up over time, and I personally would love if the cost of things didn't go up over time."
"We look at what is the experience on Nintendo Switch? What's the experience on Nintendo Switch 2? What are the new features that it offers?"
"Nintendo is charging this price because they feel they can and that people will pay."
"Two days after Nintendo revealed the Switch 2's price, the company delayed preorders in the US in an effort to assess the potential impact of tariffs."
