Nintendo rules out further Switch 2 price increase after earlier $50 hike

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa told investors on the company's latest earnings call that no additional changes to the Switch 2's price are under consideration. The console's starting price was raised by $50 earlier this year, bringing it to $499. Nintendo's earnings report also showed Switch 2 sales falling 37.4 percent compared with the previous year. Furukawa said the memory supply situation has not changed significantly and that Nintendo is positioned to secure enough chips. The statement follows reports of a Switch 2 cartridge supplier announcement earlier in the week.
