Analytical firm Niko Partners expects Switch 2 price to stay at $450 at launch

Pricing for the Nintendo Switch 2 and its software has been a huge controversy ever since the Switch 2 Direct took place over a week ago. It hasn’t helped that Nintendo had to postpone pre-orders of the console in the United States and Canada just days after the Switch 2 Direct because of the many tariffs that the US has been enacting.

As of this post’s writing, the tariffs have been temporarily reduced in many countries for the most part. For the next 90 days, they’re just 10%. The only exception is China, where they are still very high. It would be an understatement to say that this whole thing has been a mess for Nintendo, but if analytical firm Niko Partners opinion on the matter ends up being right, there might be a little silver lining for the near future.

Niko Partners said that “with tariffs on Vietnam temporarily reduced for the next 90 days, we expect Nintendo to eat the 10% tariff in order to keep the launch price at $450. However, the price could very easily increase if a higher tariff is added after 90 days. It is a cautionary tale”. Eventually, Nintendo will announce when pre-orders will go live in both the US and Canada. Whenever that happens, as well as a new price announcement, we’ll let you know.

    There is nothing you can do,

    BUT CRY ON THE INTERNET!

    1. Begs for subs every day
      Every round shape, ring, toroid, etc, gets kissers twice a week
      Sickr is power-mad, boasted in the comments of a random article, linking to his online fame, a few days ago, and regularly snorts (xanax, molly).
      “dark mode and is super light” oxymoron; dark mode is just positive discrimination, super light appeals to right wingers
      And this is a good thing?
      Every article is designed just to get clicks without any insight, just copy-pasting words from other articles without meaning, searching for news with “nintendo” in it, stolen from everywhere else, laughably pathetic
      So wrong, just look literally at this page.
      “blue ray” God you people are embarrassing and yet think you’re the only good thing in the world, egotistical twits
      6, 10 and 11 are just meaningless. Overall this should be a lesson for you to stop using this website. Sickr, shut it down.

      1. DONT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT IM GOING TO SUE YOU
        YOU NEED TO RELAX AND TAKE YOUR MEDECINE
        TELL YOU ARE SORRY!!! WHATS GOING ON WITH YOU?
        YOU ARE NOT GOD IM A CHILD ILL JUST GO MY WAY
        DONT TELL WHAT TO DO YOU ARE CRZAY

        YOU DONT LISTEN

        1. If you don’t want to spend too much money on getting yourself some therapy stalker then I understand kiddo.
          How about you impersonate someone else and maybe I can pay for your therapy. Sound like a deal?

      1. It’s ok. I’m playing his game if that’s what he truly desires. It is his life you know. He just wanted to be a stalker by following me around any article I comment on. He is just a wannabe.

    1. I think this site really needs an entire overhaul of the comments section and user account system, I really love this site. Just lighting fast with no ads and straight to the news but man. The comments section is just awful. people can impersonate each other, spam everywhere, lousy trolls.

      1. It would be nice if we have two to three more admins on this site to be more active and watch over the comment section. I wish we have the ability to edit our comments in case we make a mistake in our sentences or put the wrong characters.

  2. I clicked because I saw “65 comments” and now I’m scared to scroll down when the literal second comment is “Wtf is this comments section”

  3. Wow, i thought i was a loser “then again” i don’t have the time to troll public fourms or act like im a defender of public fourms … I thought PlayStation fourms was pathetic … Annnnd then i discovered Nintendo fourms. … Go ahead and reply to my comment and if i don’t reply it’s because im most likely just busy being a gamer and not spending all my time in a comment section.

  4. 70 comments and it’s all nonsense, if you scrolled down here then “get a life” besides trolling public fourms.

  5. The price fo the console itself isn’t too bad in my opinion. It’s the pricing of the games that’s absolutely awful.
