Analyst expects Nintendo to "stick with the $450 price" for the Switch 2 amid tariff concerns: "We believe that price point was reached with the threat of tariffs already looming"

Holding the Nintendo Switch 2.

As Switch 2 pre-orders begin going live worldwide, Nintendo fans based in the United States wonder when they'll be able to secure a Switch 2 amid delays "in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs."

That doesn't necessarily mean that the Switch 2 will cost more than its previously announced $450 price tag, however. According to a recent Eurogamer interview with analyst David Cole, founder of games industry marketing and research firm DFC Intelligence, that price point might have actually been reached with the possibility of tariffs "already looming" in the United States – so the Switch 2 might "stick with" $450.
