That would be a great price tbh.

ishaboialex.bsky.social•29 days ago

I would be overjoyed if it was $399.99 but I feel like if they wanted to guarantee better hardware and not make it too similar in price to the OLED it would have to be smth like $449.99

399 also is the sweet spot between Series S and PS5 Slim

stealth40k.bsky.social•29 days ago

The cheapest Steam Deck is $399, so I don't think it's unreasonable that Nintendo would target the same price for Switch 2.

The biggest question mark is how much stock there will be on launch day.

I had a hard time getting a PS5 for awhile. I'd like this to be easier!

Nintendo has already stated they're taking the proper precautions to prevent scalpers from hoarding stock. Hopefully they're right

daveyblahblah.bsky.social•29 days ago

I believe we got so many leaks because they are stockpiling to avoid exactly that

smxshow.bsky.social•29 days ago

I hope pre orders open for NSO subscribers first before the general public. Just so I have a chance.

$400 is actually pretty conservative

gamergalmilla.bsky.social•29 days ago

A Switch 2 OLED selling for 450USD would also sell well.

rakimreid.bsky.social•28 days ago

Agreed...or even Pokemon Legends Z-A

thebenalder.bsky.social•29 days ago

If I can pick it and a carry case/screen protector up for £400 all in, that would be ideal

bingusbuttmogg.bsky.social•29 days ago

As long as there's mario kart 9 and a new mario platformer at launch i will be acquiring

grillzvonsizzle.bsky.social•29 days ago

Only thing is that it would be a full $100 price increase from the start of last gen (i.e. presumably the comparable non-OLED model), and Nintendo has never increased more than $50 from one gen to the next.

I feel like it's gonna be $350, but I'm no expert, and this might just be wishful thinking.

It was a long generation with lots of inflation during it though. $400 today adjusted for inflation is would be around $310 in 2017
