Switch 2 price increase revealed in the UK, and at least Nintendo is being more merciful than Sony and Microsoft were with the PS5 and Xbox Series X

Nintendo has confirmed the price increase for Switch 2 consoles in the UK, and it's not quite as bad as expected.

Back in May, Nintendo announced that thanks to expectations that the "impact of various changes in market conditions" will "extend over the medium to long term" – which is to say, AI slop farms are making everything more expensive with ongoing global RAM shortages – the Switch 2 will be getting a price increase in September. Back when it was announced, it was confirmed that the US would be paying an extra $50 as Switch 2 goes to $500, while Europe would get a €30 bump to €499,99, but Nintendo did not reveal pricing for the UK.
