Following the reveal of the PlayStation 5 Pro, there has been much talk about the price of future consoles. Many consider the $700 that Sony is asking for to be too much. Thus, Many are wondering what path Nintendo will take when it comes time to reveal all the details about the successor to the Switch.
Although there is no official information at the moment, it is speculated that the Switch 2 will hit the market at a price of $399, an increase of $100 compared to the previous Nintendo console at launch, but only $50 more than the OLED model. However, Hideki Yasuda, an analyst at Toyo Securitiesshared a report stating that This hardware could hit the market ready for $499, similar to the PS5 Slim right now.
In this way, Nintendo Life carried out a survey, where it was revealed that 20% of those interested are willing to pay $500 dollars for the successor of the Switch, Although more than 30% do not want to pay that amountConsidering the terrible disappointment of the PS5 Pro, it is likely that Nintendo is still doing all kinds of research to get its next console to market at a price that does not cause them so many losses, but that is not a strong blow to the wallet of all players.
At the moment, the general consensus is that the Switch 2 will hit the market at $399, a price point that many are happy with. However, if Yasuda’s report turns out to be true, then we could be facing a less than enthusiastic community. Remember that Nintendo is coming off a resounding success with the Switch, and ruining this streak is easy. In related news, the Switch 2 could have a dual screen. Likewise, Nintendo confirms a new bundle for its console.
Author’s Note:
It’s very easy to end Nintendo’s run of success. There are many factors that can cause a failure, not just the price of the console. If the public doesn’t see an incentive to buy the next console, then sales won’t be as high as many expect, for example.
