Nintendo Not Considering Another Switch 2 Price Increase
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has said the company is not currently thinking about another price increase for the Switch 2. He shared the news during a financial results briefing.
The console recently went from $450 to $500. That change was made in response to rising memory costs, and while other consoles have seen several price increases, Nintendo is not planning one for the Switch 2 at this time.
On memory, Nintendo said today that there has been no major change to the situation. Furukawa said the company is in a position to secure sufficient quantities.
Switch 2 hardware sales and Nintendo's profits dipped during the most recent quarter. Even so, the company does not see this as a major concern right now, based on other data that's circulating.
Despite the price increase, the Switch 2 is still outpacing the original Switch in hardware sales. The newer console has come out on top almost every quarter when you line up the two launches. We have more information from Nintendo's November 2026 financial sales report.
