Analysts Predict Nintendo Switch 2 Could Launch in June at $400 or Higher

The upcoming console is expected to feature a higher price point due to increased component costs but could still achieve record-breaking sales.

Multiple analysts estimate the Nintendo Switch 2 will be priced between $400 and $500, making it Nintendo's most expensive console to date.
The price increase is attributed to higher manufacturing costs, including a more advanced processor, and potential U.S. tariffs on imports.
Industry experts anticipate a June 2025 release, with up to 8 million units available at launch, potentially setting a new record for console debuts.
A strong first-year game lineup, including titles like Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Metroid Prime 4, is expected to drive early sales.
Nintendo's April 2 Direct is set to reveal the Switch 2's price, release date, and game lineup, providing more concrete details about the new console.
