Industry analysts have weighed in on the potential launch price of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. While some predict a higher price point, others believe that $400 is the sweet spot for the device.
According to MST Financial senior research analyst David Gibson, securing a better supply chain and strong third-party support will justify a price tag of $400. Dr. Serkan Toto of Kantan Games Inc. shares this sentiment, citing Nintendo’s ability to offer a superior gaming experience as a key selling point.
Circana’s analysts Mat Piscatella and Piers Harding-Rolls also project the Switch 2 launch price at $400, taking into account the console’s expected strong third-party support. However, Midia’s Rhys Elliot suggests that if production is limited or manufacturing costs are high, the price could start at $500.
Despite this, most analysts agree that $400 is a more affordable and attractive price point compared to handheld gaming PCs, which can cost upwards of $800. With its expected strong lineup of games, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends Z-A, the Switch 2 is predicted to be a big seller for Nintendo this year.
