Nintendo said it has secured sufficient memory supplies to manufacture Switch 2 consoles and does not plan to raise the console's price again, according to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa in comments to Reuters.
The company already increased Switch 2 prices by $50 in the US, €30 in Europe, and ¥10,000 in Japan effective September 1st. That marked the first price hike for the console itself, though Nintendo raised Switch 2 accessory prices earlier due to Trump Administration tariffs.
Nintendo has sold 26 million Switch 2 units. The platform holder cited access to adequate memory quantities as the reason it will not pursue further price increases.
Memory shortages driven by AI demand pushed PlayStation and Xbox to multiple price hikes. Sony raised PS5 and PS5 Pro prices on several occasions. Microsoft increased Series X and Series S prices multiple times, with the most recent hike in August. One of Nintendo's longtime ROM suppliers exited the business to focus on more lucrative segments. ROM memory is used in Switch cartridges.
Switch 2 hardware sales have declined for several quarters compared to its 2025 launch, though sales remain ahead of the original Switch's pace.
