Nintendo might be forced to raises prices on the Switch 2, says analyst

Next year, console gaming may not be the respite that you expect, thanks to rising prices for every console. With Sony announcing unilateral PS5 price increases in the U.S., one analyst suggests that Nintendo could follow suit and bump up the Switch 2.

Analyst Daniel Ahmad said that Nintendo could raise Switch 2 prices, but not until 2026.

"While they may not be willing to raise prices right now, I can see them reconsidering next year," Ahmad wrote on X.

He said that Nintendo had explored raising Switch 2 prices earlier this year but backed off. New tariffs may impact any future Nintendo pricing decisions.

Earlier this year, Nintendo raised prices on every Switch model and a number of Switch and Switch 2 accessories, including the Joy-Con 2 controllers and the Switch 2 Pro Controller.
