Switch OLED is $349. This thing won't cost less than 399. Realistically, I expect $450-$500

Oh man, you got me worried. It's kind of hard to justify Switch 2 at $450 when you can get a PS5 at that price.

Why would you even compare this to a PS5?

 

[adamsapple]

$399.99 is my guess.

 

[Fafalada]

399$ with 99$ dock sold separately.

 

[Azelover]

I wish for $400, but it's probably going to be $500 or higher.

 

[Alebrije]

I Guess Will have an oled screen for base model so considering that could cost similar to a Steamdeck oled.

 

[Arrapaho]

400$
450€

 

[Caffeine]

idk but random user zuby tech says its $399 and is coming out july 11th.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

I voted $400 but I am still wondering if there will be a Lite model that's $300.

 

[tr1p1ex]

They are going to surprise low.

 

[Chuck Berry]

I say $400

And yes I'm buying it day uno

I think it will be $500 with a slim profit margin for Nintendo which is a completely baseless assumption on my part.

It keeps them flexible for future price cuts if demand slows and gives some cushion if inflation continues at high rates.

LOLOLOL Slim profit margin at $500 on a 5 year old SOC on a 5 year old 8nm node with a garbage pale tier LCD? The BOM on this thing is gonna be like $200 assembled, packaged, and shipped. I don't even think Nintendo's usual Hollywood accounting (that frontloads the heavy R&D and manufacturing setup expenses instead of more fairly amortizing it over the generation's XXX million units) could pass $500 off as slim margin.

They won't go above 399. The 4 makes it look too expensive. Remember: lots of parents buy this for their kids as a present. 400 isn't present category for most parents.

$449
€499
£399

[Harlock]

499 and 599.

 

[BlackTron]

Still..PS5 @$450..this shouldn't be a dime above $250

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare Switch 2 against the price of other portable devices? Do we compare phones against PCs as a value per dollar test, or against other 1/4" thick hardware with with batteries and screens?

 

[Radical_3d]

450$ and from 500 to 550£€. So I’ve voted 500 to make the average.

 

[TheGodfather07]

$500 is off the table. They're not gonna price it the same as a PS5 and series x. $450 is a possibility. $400 is most likely.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

$449, which will translate to a very hard sell at €499 in Euroland. Mayyybe €479 to soften the blow a bit.

Considering inflation, specs and the competition, anything less than $399 means it’s a piece of junk. Friendly reminder that there’s $299 devices out there that can emulate Switch 1 to some extent.

I'm expecting $399. $500 if it has some secret sauce and is more powerful than we thought. I doubt it though.
