Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé believes the Nintendo Switch 2 price point was just right, but the real challenge is going to be keeping players engaged.
When the Switch 2 was announced, the big talking point was to do with pricing. While the console itself did get some raised eyebrows due to its price, the big kicker was the cost of games, with Mario Kart World making waves due its whopping $80 price tag. Nintendo did ease this price point somewhat by bundling the game with consoles at a cheaper price, and while the backlash was loud, the Switch 2 became the fastest-selling console of all time, and sold over 10 million consoles in just four months (with 8.1 million of those being the Mario Kart bundle).
