Nintendo hikes Switch 2 price, citing persistent component costs
Nintendo says the Switch 2 price increase reflects persistent memory and component costs that are not expected to fall soon, aiming to protect profitability and support long-term platform growth. The price in Europe rises from €470 to €500 (US$450–$500), with UK pricing left to retailers. The company notes a strong first year of sales and plans to expand the installed base through new titles, while warning that costs could impact the near term and next year as well.
