If a recent report is accurate, the games for the potential Nintendo Switch 2 could cost more than current Nintendo Switch game prices. This price hike in some regions suggests a possible trend: an overall increase in pricing with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. Given that PlayStation and Xbox already charge $70 for PS5 and Xbox Series X games, there has been speculation about whether Nintendo would match this when launching the Nintendo Switch 2.
Before the recent price hike on the Nintendo Switch, many were speculating whether Nintendo’s decision to sell The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $70 might hint at future pricing strategies for the Nintendo Switch 2. Since then, Nintendo hasn’t raised the price again, but it’s clear they were gauging consumer response. And the response was overwhelmingly positive, with Tears of the Kingdom selling incredibly well, indicating that Nintendo consumers are prepared to pay more. Although an additional $10 per copy sold might seem insignificant for Nintendo, it soon adds up significantly. If Nintendo earns an extra $10 per game on every one of 10 million copies sold, this amounts to an additional $100 million in revenue for them.
Although Nintendo hasn’t confirmed a price increase for the Nintendo Switch 2, Centro Leaks suggests that the games for the new console might cost $70 each. This information should be treated with caution, but given that the standard price for games in the current generation (PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch) is $60, and the next-gen consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X) are priced at $70, it isn’t surprising to hear such a possibility. After all, Nintendo is about to join the new console generation, so raising the game price seems like a logical move.
The reason behind the rising prices of games is multifaceted. Firstly, developers need to factor in inflation when setting their prices, as the cost of everything, including games, continues to grow. Secondly, the expenses associated with creating video games have significantly increased over time, which pushes many developers to raise prices to cover these costs.
As a dedicated gamer, I’m eagerly anticipating the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. Judging from what we know so far, it seems Nintendo aims to price this new console in a way that mirrors the mass appeal of the original Switch. It might not be as budget-friendly as the initial $300 price tag, but rest assured, it’s highly unlikely to exceed $400. Here’s hoping we get another gaming revolution at an affordable price!
