Research Firm Predicts Global Price Hike for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026

According to recent analysis, the next Nintendo Switch currently has a price advantage over the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, prices for the Switch are also expected to increase, mirroring trends seen with Sony and Microsoft’s consoles. This is likely due to US tariffs and the increasing cost of memory chips caused by global shortages. Instead of raising the price of the base model, Nintendo might discontinue its $449 version and offer only more expensive bundles instead.
