Nintendo Switch 2 pricing possibly leaked by Costco employee — here's how much it could cost (CAD$499.99)


"A new leak from Famiboards might have revealed the console's price, though it comes from a relatively sketchy source. A Costco employee in Canada posted a placeholder price card that shows the console priced at CAD$499.99.



Before you panic about a $500 price tag, remember that's Canadian Dollars. After converting to USD, that number drops dramatically to $348.58."
 
It's also entirely possible that the alleged Costco employee faked this price card to confuse everyone.

Surely no faker has such fearsome technology as to print off a blank label with text and numbers in a generic font and varying sizes? 100% real.
 
No chance it's under $399 USD.

Honestly, $350 feels like the right price point. 400 becomes a pretty significant expense, but that 50 lower price point makes it a whole lot more approachable.
 
It would imply the MK9 bundle is the other leaked $400 SKU rather than the base model, but somewhat hard to believe. Inflation, tariffs, does not have AMD. I'll be pleasantly shocked if this thing is 350.
 
At $350, it will be very difficult to get one at launch.
Well, Furukawa said that Nintendo will ensure steps to have enough units available. If that just means a whole lot more units ready by launch or some retarded lottery scheme like Sony did for PS5 remains to be seen.
 
If the changing price is 350, there's a minimum chance that will be US$400 because of reasons

I think they will stick with 350 thou, and the games will be 70
 
Power specs keep rising while prices keep dropping. Sure, nothing sketchy about a product Nintendo wants to squeeze as much out of as possible.
 
I'd love $350 but I'm still thinking it'll be $400 with a $450 MK9 bundle. They're going to sell them as fast as they can make them early on either way.
 
Clearly they should price the Switch 2 below the price of the OLED Switch 1, so they can confuse the hell out of the casuals and they won't know which system is better.
