""We believe the pricing of Nintendo Switch 2 is appropriate for the gaming experience it offers, and what is most important is to provide entertaining experiences that demonstrate the value to consumers.""
"At $450, the Switch 2 is Nintendo's most expensive console yet. The original Switch was $300 when it launched in 2017, while the most expensive console prior to the Switch 2 was the Wii U, which flopped."
The price of the Switch 2 has sparked significant controversy, particularly its $450 cost, making it the most expensive console from Nintendo. Concerns arise from cash-strapped customers, especially children expecting to receive the latest console. Nintendo's president mentioned the company is monitoring long-term implications of the pricing. Despite the price, he expressed confidence in the value provided by the Switch 2 and emphasized the importance of offering entertaining experiences. The Switch 2 does not offer substantial upgrades over its predecessor, leading to questions about its pricing strategy compared to competitors like PS5 and Xbox Series.
