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

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said during the company’s latest earnings call that it’s “not considering additional changes” to the Switch 2’s price, Reuters reports. The Switch 2 got a $50 price hike earlier this year, bringing its starting price up to $499. Nintendo said in Thursday’s earnings report that Switch 2 sales have dropped 37.4 percent year-over-year.

According to Reuters, Furukawa also gave an update on the RAM shortage, saying, “There has been no major change to the memory situation and Nintendo is in a position to secure sufficient quantities.”

Earlier this week, one of Nintendo’s Switch 2 cartridge suppliers announced it plans to stop making ROM memory to focus on memory for data centers instead.
