Nintendo says it is not considering a Switch 2 price hike

Nintendo says it is not considering another Switch 2 price rise, citing sufficient memory stock to keep the console at its current price for the foreseeable future. The statement comes amid industry-wide memory shortages and follows price increases across current-generation consoles.

Nintendo previously raised the Switch 2’s US price to $500, with similar increases elsewhere. Its latest earnings report showed profits down 16% and Switch 2 sales down 37%, though the console is still outselling the original Switch. The company expects supply pressures to continue into 2027.
