Nintendo: no further Switch 2 price rises under consideration
At Nintendo's 5 November earnings, president Shuntaro Furukawa said the company is "not considering additional changes" to the Switch 2's price — the clearest signal yet that the US sticker stays at $499.99, where it has sat since the 1 September rise from $449.99. Furukawa added that Nintendo can secure sufficient memory supply despite the industry-wide crunch. Nintendo held its full-year Switch 2 hardware forecast at 16.5 million units, even as quarterly profit fell 16% and investors pressed on the post-hike sales slowdown.
