Nintendo says it’s not planning another Switch 2 price hike

Nintendo's president, Shuntaro Furukawa, stated that the company is not planning to raise the price of the Switch 2 beyond its current $499 starting price, despite a 37.4% year-over-year drop in sales. The Switch 2's price was increased by $50 earlier this year. Furukawa also mentioned that Nintendo has secured sufficient RAM quantities, despite the ongoing RAM shortage affecting the tech industry. This shortage is being driven by high demand from AI data centers, which is also causing price increases for other consoles, including the Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
