- The retail price of Nintendo Switch 2 turned out to be controversial
- Some speculated that the cost was partly caused by potential US tariffs
- Nintendo of America Doug Bowser now said it wasn’t
A lot was discussed about the price of the Nintendo Switch 2, and now Nintendo of America has made a conclusion.
Some, including several well -known industry analysts, speculated that the initial price of 429.99 USD / 395.99 GBP was determined for potential US tariffs.
Speech in a fresh interview for The VergeDoug Bowser explained that this is not the case. “All previous tariffs have not been included in the price itself,” he said clearly.
This would lend a hand explain why Nintendo made an unprecedented decision to delay Nintendo Switch 2 in the USA. In the statement given to Techradar, Nintendo stated that this was due to the “potential impact of tariffs and evolution of market conditions.”
Then he tried to explain the reasons for the price, citing improved specifications and fresh functions. He also said that “you want to consider the relative prices of switching, because we still have it in distribution, but in fact the consideration was more driven by what is part of this particular experience in games compared to what is in relation to Switch.”
Various game prices, for example 79.99 USD / 74.99 £ Mario Kart WorldIN He was also controversial. Bowser said that “as we think,” every game is a unique experience and therefore can cause a clear price.
