Nintendo Apologizes For Raising The Price Of The Switch 2 Less Than A Year After It Launched

Nintendo will raise Switch 2 prices in major markets starting in September, with the U.S. price going from $400 to $450.

Japan, Canada, and Europe will also see increases, while older Switch models and Nintendo Switch Online prices rise in Japan too.

Nintendo blamed market conditions, tariffs, and hardware shortages, and apologized for the early price hike.

The move is unusually soon for a new console and could affect demand and regional sales momentum.
