Last week, Nintendo announced a new pricing strategy for Switch 2 games that will see first-party Switch 2 games launch with a $10 price split separating digital and physical versions. Nintendo is keen to frame this change as a price decrease for digital games rather than a price increase for physical ones, and a former sales lead from the company believes that's probably true. In fact, Nintendo may just be passing its own savings on digital sales back to you.
That former Nintendo sales lead appeared in the latest episode of Kit & Krysta podcast under just his first name, Sean. Sean says it won't be possible to determine for sure whether this pricing angle is true until we see the prices for more traditionally big-ticket games, like Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave or Pokemon Winds and Waves, rather than the smaller-scale Yoshi and the Mysterious Book that's starting the experiment. But he has his suspicions.
