Even though the Nintendo Switch 2 has not yet been released, Nintendo is already starting to mention the possibility of increasing its price in the future.
The least we can say is that we live in a particularly strange period for the video game industry. Indeed, while it has always been customary for manufacturers to reduce the price of their consoles in the years following their exit, this time we were confronted in the opposite case. Whether it’s the Ps5 or the Xbox Seriesall are now sold at a higher price than they were at the origin in 2020. And obviously, the same scenario could occur with the Nintendo Switch 2.
The Switch 2 could set up its prices in the future
This is indeed what Shuntaro Furukawa, the CEO of the company confirmed, during a recent speaking intended for investors. “If the hypotheses concerning the prices change significantly, we will examine which price adjustments we can make and implement them after taking into account different factors” He said in particular. A statement all the more astonishing as the high price of the console is not failure to be debated with the players.
However, it could still take some time before happening. Because as Furukawa also assured, in the immediate future, Nintendo’s objective remains to sell the maximum number of consoles as quickly as possible. “For the moment, the top priority is to quickly popularize the Switch 2” he assured. We should therefore be able to escape a possible price increase during the first months, except the first years of existence of the machine. Even if the ideal would obviously be to escape there.
The controversies are linked
In any case, one thing is certain: it is surely not with this kind of declaration that Nintendo risks appearing the rumble of players. Because between the relatively high price of the console, the launch of Mario Kart World at the incredible price of € 90, and finally the controversies linked to physical versions Who are not really, there is something to worry about. Hopefully this does not affect the success of the Switch 2, whose launch is scheduled for June 5. As a reminder, you can already find Our first impressions about it.
