Nintendo Switch 2 Price Defended Amidst Tariff Concerns | JQJO

Nintendo's new Switch 2 console will cost $450, with games priced at $70-$80. Nintendo executives defended the pricing, stating it reflects the console's value and that tariffs weren't factored in initially. While acknowledging potential impacts from Trump's tariffs on import costs, Nintendo president Doug Bowser noted existing global inventories could mitigate immediate financial effects. The company aims to maintain hardware margins, unlike the Wii U strategy of selling hardware at a loss.
