In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 release, concerns are growing about the console’s price point. The uncertainty has led to speculation about whether we’ll even see a US price at all.
Will We Even See a US Price?
Given the evolving situation surrounding potential tariffs in the US, there’s been some discussion about whether we might not see a US price at all. It’s a possibility that, while other regions will see one announced, the US price could be left up in the air. This would mean that US retailers might opt to offer refundable deposits instead of traditional pre-orders, with the final price to be announced closer to the product’s launch.
