BTCCSquare news:
Nintendo will increase the price of its original Switch console and select accessories in the US starting August 3, citing evolving market conditions. The base model, long priced at $299, will see an unspecified hike, while the newer Switch 2 holds steady at $449. Adjustments will also affect the Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and official accessories, including non-gaming items like the Nintendo Sound Clock.
The move reflects broader industry pressures as US tariffs on Asian imports drive up costs. Nintendo follows Microsoft and Sony in raising prices but adopts a more gradual approach. The gaming sector faces mounting challenges as manufacturers navigate rising expenses tied to global trade dynamics.
