Further information about the Switch 2 is scheduled for a live stream in April, with one of the main attractions being the disclosed retail price. Given ongoing global political changes and various economic aspects, market experts have shared their predictions regarding the potential cost of the Switch 2.
According to David Gibson, senior research analyst at MST Financial, he anticipates a price of $400 for the Nintendo console due to improvements in its supply chain and robust third-party backing. Similarly, Dr. Serkan Toto from Kantan Games Inc., as reported by IGN, shares this view, stating that $400 is an appropriate cost for the Switch 2. Furthermore, analysts Mat Piscatella and Piers Harding-Rolls from Circana have also projected a price of $400 in their estimations, as communicated to IGN.

According to Harding-Rolls and Piscatella, it’s possible that Nintendo might set the price of the Switch 2 at $500. They reasoned that early adopters would be ready to pay this amount for the console, and Nintendo could always reduce the price later on if needed.
Rhys Elliot of MIDiA pointed out that if the Switch 2 is scarce at its debut – a situation Nintendo is striving to prevent – its initial price might be set at around $500. The manufacturing expenses could also contribute to the high launch cost, as a significant portion of Nintendo’s revenue comes from sales of the Switch console, aiming for profit. In summary, Elliot anticipates that the optimal price for the Switch 2 when it eventually launches would be approximately $400.
The new Switch 2 is expected to debut at $400, which is significantly pricier compared to the current Switch’s $300 cost. Meanwhile, the OLED model will retail for $350. Despite this higher price point, it remains more budget-friendly than most portable gaming PCs, as they usually start from around $500 and can go up to $800 based on their specifications and models.
The Switch 2 may offer excellent value due to its backwards compatibility feature. With highly anticipated games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokemon Legends Z-A scheduled for release in the same 2025 window, analysts anticipate that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be a blockbuster hit this year.
