Even with Switch 2 available, original Nintendo Switch prices are going up not down

Nintendo Switch.
Quick Summary

The Nintendo Switch 2 may be available now but that hasn't lead to a price drop for the last-gen Switch consoles. Not in the US anyway.

Tariffs are likely to blame for a price rise by as much as $50 per console.

Those hoping to get a bargain on an original, Lite or OLED Nintendo Switch now that the Switch 2 has arrived should look away now – contrary to tradition, the prices are actually going up not down.
