It was only a matter of time before Nintendo was forced to raise its console prices. The positive news is that the Switch 2 remains the cheapest of the big three consoles. Sony and Microsoft had to raise prices a couple of times since last May. The PlayStation 5 Pro is upwards of $900 USD right now.
This might be a great time to grab a Nintendo Switch 2 if you haven’t already before the official price changes.
