These Analysts Expect The Switch 2 Will Launch For $400

More details on the Switch 2 are set to be revealed in an April livestream, and one of the key selling points--quite literally--will be its official price. With recent geopolitical events and several other economic factors to consider, industry analysts have offered insight into how much the Switch 2 might cost.

Speaking to CNBC, MST Financial senior research analyst David Gibson predicted a $400 price point based on Nintendo securing a better supply chain for the console and strong third-party support. Dr. Serkan Toto of Kantan Games Inc. (via IGN) also believes that $400 will be the right price for the Switch 2, and Circana's analysts Mat Piscatella and Piers Harding-Rolls explained to IGN that they also have that price in their projections.

Both Harding-Rolls and Piscatella suggested that Nintendo could sell the Switch 2 for $500, noting that early adopters would be willing to pay that much for the console and that Nintendo could always lower the price in the future.
