Kantan Games, a market analyst, has suggested that the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch in 2024 It will cost around $400. The new console games will also suffer a price increase.
The new starting price represents an increase of about $100 compared to the launch price of the original Nintendo Switch, which launched in 2017 for $299. However, it will still be a cheaper alternative to the PS5 and Xbox Series, which went on sale in 2020 for $499.
Additionally, the company notes that prices for Nintendo Switch 2 games could also increase 70 dollars. This price is pretty standard for PS5 and Xbox Series
The Nintendo Switch 2 will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, which is why Kantan Games describes it more of an iteration than a revolution. The portable form factor is not being abandoned either.
The most widespread rumors suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 could launch later this year, around March, although there are also voices that point to the end of the year.
