In the wake of Sony’s announcement that it’s raising the price of the PlayStation 5 in the US, analyst Daniel Ahmad has said Nintendo could potentially follow suit and hike the price of the Switch 2 due, in part, to tariffs.
Ahmad said Nintendo explored the possibility of raising prices on the Switch 2 earlier this year, when tariffs for Vietnam, where some of the consoles are produced, were at 10%. The tariff rate for Vietnam is now 20%, and this „definitely“ impacts how much money Nintendo makes, Ahmad said.
He further predicted that Nintendo may not be willing to raise the price of the Switch 2 right now, but said the company may reconsider in 2026 after the busy holiday shopping season.
