The analyst claims that the price of the Switch 2 won’t “really matter” to early adopters

The launch price of the Nintendo Switch 2 is unknown at the time of writing and will likely stay that way until Nintendo’s big Direct presentation in April.

However, according to Circana (NPD) analyst Mat Piscatella, the console’s final price likely won’t matter for those of us who are early adopters. When talking to GameRadar+he stated that as long as the machine’s cost was not “exorbitant” it would probably sell.

“I don’t believe launch price will really matter. Early adopters of new Nintendo hardware aren’t too price sensitive, so as long as the launch price isn’t too big they should sell. And all However, the price too.” may be lowered over time but we will see.”

We’d probably say that, yes, he’s mostly right with this assessment. We can only speak for ourselves here, but it seems like we’ve been waiting for the Switch successor to bloom’ ages at this time. So despite the need to own one for the purpose of having it on the site here, of course we would buy it from day one.

However, we think that is coming soon Nintendo Direct in April will greatly impact most users’ decisions on whether to immediately buy a Switch 2 or not. We know that Mario Kart 9 coming soon, but will it be a launch title? And what other games can we expect to see on day one? Only time will tell.
