Nintendo Addresses Concerns Over Switch 2's Price Keeping Kids From Getting It https://t.co/rKXZYqlQ3d
Nintendo has announced it will increase prices for its original Nintendo Switch family of systems and related products in Canada, citing market conditions as the reason for the adjustment. The price changes will affect the original Switch consoles, including the OLED, non-OLED, and Lite models, as well as physical and digital Switch games, accessories, amiibo, and Nintendo Switch Online memberships. The company confirmed that these changes do not apply to the Nintendo Switch 2, its latest console. Details on the specific pricing adjustments are expected to be released on August 1. The decision to raise prices in Canada has drawn attention given that Canadian incomes are generally lower than in the U.S., and the recent U.S.-China tariffs that influenced pricing elsewhere do not apply in Canada. Nintendo's move reflects broader market dynamics impacting the gaming industry in the region.
