As the original Nintendo Switch goes up in price, a former Nintendo of America marketing manager reckons it could actually really benefit the Switch 2.
The Switch 2 reveal was almost immediately followed by massive tariff increases on countries where Nintendo manufactures the consoles (like China and Vietnam), resulting in pre-orders being delayed in the United States. But after fears that the already-expensive Switch 2 would be more expensive for US customers, Nintendo kept it the same, with accessories getting hit instead.
