While Nintendo is staying tight-lipped on the price, analysts have estimated that the console will cost around $400. The original Nintendo Switch launched for $300 in 2017, though when adjusted for inflation is equivalent to around $388, making a $400 price point for the Switch 2 closer to its predecessor than it first appears.

The announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 didn't have anything to do with the plummeting sales of the original console according to shuntaro Furukawa.

The president of Nintendo has given the first official update on how much the upcoming Switch 2 console will cost. An exact price has not yet been confirmed by Nintendo but in the past few months, there have been a few different rumours that the console will cost around $400.
