Nintendo Switch 2 Price Leaked by Retailers
Major retailers like Best Buy and Dutch retailer Coolblue may have leaked the price of the Nintendo Switch 2. Although Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch 2 and a new Mario Kart game, it didn't mention a price or release date. New retailer listings seem to suggest a possible price range.
Retail Price Leaks
- Best Buy Listing: The retailer lists the Nintendo Switch 2 for $350, the same price as the OLED model.
- Coolblue Listing: The Dutch retailer has listed the console for $500, which aligns with previous reports about a $450–$500 bundle version with Mario Kart.
Can Nintendo launch the Switch 2 at $350?
The idea of selling the Nintendo Switch 2 at $350 may sound surprising, but it is possible considering:
- At a profit, the OLED Switch could be sold at a competitive price.
Some new consoles sold at a loss to increase adoption; profits lie in games and subscriptions. - The $350 price point makes the Switch 2 competitively priced.
Is a $500 price going to happen?
A $500 price seems farfetched since the Switch 2 is not as powerful as the PS5, which came out with a price tag of $400.
Rising manufacturing costs and the handheld feature alone might mean these games deserve a premium.
A bundle edition with Mario Kart for $500 could only mean a cheaper standard model.
Is It Official?
- Do Best Buy and Coolblue possess inside information, or are these simply placeholders?
- Maybe these are speculations, but insider leaks can't be possible.
- The announcements for Nintendo, Best Buy, and Coolblue have not commented on the leaked prices.
Until Nintendo officially announces the Nintendo Switch 2 price, these retailer listings should be taken cautiously. Whether the Switch 2 launches at $350, $500, or somewhere in between, its pricing strategy will significantly impact its market success.
