- An industry consultant predicts the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch this year.
- The consultant believes the console will sell for $400 and will be “an iteration rather than a revolution.”
- Nintendo may up the price of its games to $70.
Although Nintendo has been extremely tight-lipped about the successor to the Nintendo Switch, there’s been a handful of rumors to suggest it will come out in 2024. Now an industry consultant has added to that pile while also giving predictions for the prices of the hardware and software.
In an analyst predictions feature by GamesIndustry.biz, the CEO of game industry consultancy Kantan Games, Dr. Serkan Toto, claimed that the time is now for the Nintendo Switch 2. Toto went on to predict that the Switch 2 will cost $400 — $100 more expensive than the Switch when it launched — and that it will be “an iteration rather than a revolution.” By this, he means the Switch 2 will have a few new features, but it won’t be a jump equivalent to going from the Wii U to the Switch.
