- The Nintendo Switch 2 retail price has proven controversial
- Some have hypothesized that the cost was partly due to the potential American rates
- Nintendo of America Doug Bowser has now said that it was not the case
There have been a lot of discussions on the Nintendo Switch 2 prize and now the president of Nintendo of America has come.
Some, including several notable analysts in the industry, have hypothesized that the starting price of $ 429.99 / £ 395.99 had been decided by thinking of potential American rates.
Speaking in a new interview with The Verge, Doug Bowser said that this is not the case. “Not all previous prices have been taken into account in the price itself,” he said clearly.
This would help explain why Nintendo made the unprecedented decision to delay pre-orders from Nintendo Switch 2 in the United States. In a statement provided to Techradar, Nintendo said it was due to “the potential impact of changing prices and market conditions”.
Bowser added that “the new [of the tariffs] is fresh, and like many companies at the moment, [Nintendo] actively assess what the impact can be. “”
He then tried to explain the reasons for the price, quoting his improved specifications and his new features. He also said that “you want to consider prices relating to Switch because we always have it in distribution, but, really, consideration was more motivated by what is part of this particular game experience compared to what it is in relation to the switch”.
The varied prices of games, for example $ 79.99 / £ 74.99 Mario Kart World,, was also controversial. Bowser said that “each game, we believe, is a unique experience and can therefore order a separate prize.
