Nintendo Switch 2 preorders are live at one European retailer for €364.99 ($379.77), despite no official release date or price being announced. An Italian retailer, GamesandMovies.it, has jumped the gun by taking preorder sales, selling the console at a cheaper-than-expected $379.99, making it more affordable than previously predicted $399.99. Nintendo hasn’t yet confirmed these details and will likely reveal them on April 2.
The decision comes amid concerns about pricing strategy, as the company aims to avoid direct competition with the PS5 and Xbox Series X while attracting customers with familiar hardware, lower prices, and a vast library of exclusive games. The retailer’s offer raises questions about potential refunds or additional charges if the price proves inaccurate, adding complexity to Nintendo’s plans.
