Retail pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on April 24, 2025. At launch, the price for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will remain as announced on April 2 at $449.99, and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will remain as announced…
Prices for accessories will be increasing to compensate for tariffs.
Given the tariff position, I’m curious if this will be the first time Nintendo decides to eat the loss on console hardware sales; something usually only other console makers have done.
Perhaps they think Trump will be on his way out. Or they’re eating into their cash reserves to prevent discussion of their consoles from getting political.
Given the outcry over the price, I think they have no choice but to eat the loss. They can’t drop the price, but they can’t raise it either. They’ll just have to hope that they can bring down manufacturing costs over time.
However, Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions. Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.
…since when were key accessories irrelevant to the discussion of selling hardware? They’re jacking up the price of everything else around it for now. Unless you think everybody just buys the console, uses the joycons that come with it, and never spend another dollar outside of games?
Do you really not understand what I was driving at? Or are you just doing that annoying Internet argument thing?

We’re talking about the console.

I think that you’re doing that annoying internet argument thing, because you’re not actually replying to what I said here.
I did reply to what you said. What are you talking about? How is my comment anything less than a direct response to your comment?
I said that they can’t drop the price of the console and they can’t raise the price of the console either. What does this have to do with what I said?
You can’t be this dense. I’m done.
