任天堂考虑 Switch 2 价格：需符合消费者对任天堂产品预期

Nintendo is carefully considering several factors to determine the Switch 2's price. While analysts predict a $400 price point, Nintendo remains tight-lipped, citing inflation, fluctuating exchange rates since the original Switch's 2017 launch, and consumer expectations for Nintendo products as key considerations. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa emphasized the multifaceted nature of this decision in a recent investor Q&A.

The original Switch's $299.99 price point, maintained for years, provides context. Competitors Sony and Microsoft have raised their console prices due to rising costs, influencing the market landscape. A $400 price for the Switch 2, a predicted increase from the original's $300 launch price (still current outside of bundles), aligns with expectations for a more powerful, next-generation console, especially considering the $350 OLED and $200 Lite models. However, specifics remain unknown pending further announcements.
