Switch 2 price is ‘going to have to go up’ eventually, former Nintendo sales lead says

Sean, a former Nintendo sales lead, told the Kit & Krysta podcast that Nintendo will eventually need to raise Switch 2 hardware prices.

He described such a price increase as "inevitable."

He cited inflation, tariffs, chip demand, oil prices, shipping costs and helium as factors driving hardware costs.

Sean suggested Nintendo appears to be pricing digital games lower than physical ones in the US to soften backlash.

In short, he expects the Switch 2 hardware price to go up at some point.
