Nintendo raising original Switch console prices due to ‘market conditions’
Nintendo is raising the prices of its original Switch console in the United States due to "market conditions." The company did not specify the reasons for the price increase, but it is likely related to President Trump's tariffs, which have been increasing costs for U.S. consumers. The price of the standard Nintendo Switch console will increase from $299 to $349, a $50 hike. The price of the Nintendo Switch with the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle will also increase from $359 to $399. The price increase comes at a time when Nintendo is facing increased competition in the gaming market, with the recent launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The company has not provided any further details on the reasons behind the price change or when the new prices will take effect.
