Nintendo Is Raising Switch 2 Prices As Chip Crisis Bites

Nintendo will raise the US price of the Switch 2 by $50 to $500, citing higher memory costs and tariffs.

The company also lowered next-year Switch 2 sales expectations to 16.5 million units.

Strong launch demand still lifted current-year shipments and revenue, but pricing pressure is starting to weigh on outlook.

The move highlights broader cost pressures facing gaming hardware makers, including rivals like Sony's PS5.
