With the Nintendo Switch 2 launch looming, many are wondering whether Nintendo's long-term success can survive a $400+ price point on the Switch 2.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been revealed, but gamers are still trying to figure out how much the console will cost. According to analysts interviewed by Bloomberg, the console could cost as little as $399 and up to $499.

The most encouraging price point comes from the leaker Average Lucia Fanatic, who claimed the Switch 2 will cost just CA$400 — or around US$280. While the leaker did correctly predict both the PS5 Pro and Nintendo Alarmo last year, there’s one incredibly good reason to be skeptical here: He also said the console was due to be launched last week.
