469 euros. Is what is worth Nintendo Switch 2 Brand new without a single game. A price that makes it compete with consoles such as PlayStation 5 wave Xbox Series x And that, no matter how much it hurts, it takes on some sense: The switch is no longer a toy.
It was possible to wonder if, after this price increase, Nintendo would have easy to sell its new console. The answer is clearer than ever. Not that he is selling well, he is selling more than he had planned.
The Price Upon. The Nintendo Switch went on sale in Spain at a price of 329.99 euros. Four years after its launch, the company It reduced it to 299.99 euros. A strategic movement to give way to a switch OLED that went on the Spanish market in 2021 by 349.99 euros.
Four years later, the company launches its new switch 2 for 469 euros, and with specifications that few expected. Ability to execute games in 4K 60FPS, an important graphic jump in the games that await you and the great added of Switch: portability.
Uncertainty. A few days after your presentation, Nintendo postponed switch 2 reservations in the United States. Reason? The constant changes in tariffs imposed on China and other countries by the Trump administration.
The rumors about price increases on the PVP that had been planned were in the air although, after a foreseeable calm, it seems that everything follows its course.
Dying of success. Partially loved the stormNintendo has revealed how Switch reserves are going. The answer is “extremely” well. Shuntaro Furukawa has explained in X The current situation.
“We have acquired many pieces in advance and state progressing with the production so that we can make the deliveries of Nintendo Switch 2. On April 2, we announced its details and open a lottery for sale in My Nintendo Store. As a result, we receive an extremely large amount of applications: approximately 2.2 million people only in Japan. This far exceeds our initial expectations and far exceed Switch 2 that can be delivered through My Nintendo Store on June 5.
The Switch 2 is dying of success before birth in Japan, so much that it will not be able to meet all the initial deliveries.
Forced march in production. Nintendo not only has to supply Japan from Switch 2, it has to do the same with the global market. Furukawa has assured that the company will reinforce its production system, one that continues to depend on countries like China, which has been imposed a 125%tariff.
The big doubt is what will happen to the price of this console in its long life cycle. Competitors like Sony are clear: They are already uploading prices.
