In the rest of the world,
the Switch 2 is comparatively priced to the PS5 – but Nintendo knows where its bread is buttered.
The Mario maker has come up with a fascinating solution to the weakening yen and the threat of exports: a Japanese language-only system which will retail for ¥49,980 (~$338).
That's
significantly less than the $450 the system will sell for in the US, and it's almost
half the price of the PS5, which currently retails for ¥79,980 (~$542).
Interestingly, Nintendo will also sell a multi-language version of the Switch 2 for ¥69,980 (~$474) in Japan, but it clearly expects most domestic consumers to cough up for the cheaper option.
