If you think the Switch 2 is a small stand of $ 450, you are not alone. In fact, Nintendo has acknowledged the cost of admission-especially considering the $ 300 on the original switch-the sale of initial hardware for the upcoming hybrid system can be affected.
During a recent Financial results briefingNintendo President Shantaro Frokawa was asked about the company’s 15 million switch 2 systems predicted in this financial year (which would be about 10 months for the console itself). Frookawa indicated that the price point is the biggest factors in calculation.
“The price of Nintendo Switch 2 is relatively high than the Nintendo Switch, so we recognize that there are similar challenges to adopt initially.” “It is said that Nintendo Switch 2 can play 2 compatible Nintendo Switch software, so there is a continuity between the platform. We are taking steps to accelerate adoption in the first financial year, such as bundling software with hardware, which aims to get the same launch.”
Frookawa rejected the idea, showing that production or US tariff situation was included in the number. Instead, the president of Nintendo also stressed at the Switch 2 price point, saying that “it would not be easy to keep this pace (with hardware sales) during the holiday season and long -term.”
The switches are closed to the warm start of the 2, and they were almost immediately sold in the United States last month. Nintendo is launching Switch 2 on June 5, with the Mario Cart World System continuing.
