One analyst believes Nintendo’s plan for the Switch 2’s release includes getting a head start on the PS6, with launch sales estimated to exceed the original Switch.

March 2025 is shaping up to be another exciting month for gamers, with a lineup of highly anticipated titles arriving on PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC. Whether you're in the mood for a fun co-op adventure, a business simulation set in a museum, or an action survival game, there's plenty to look forward to.

Nintendo Switch 2 games may cost more than Nintendo Switch games if a new report about the new Nintendo console is true.

The most encouraging price point comes from the leaker Average Lucia Fanatic, who claimed the Switch 2 will cost just CA$400 — or around US$280. While the leaker did correctly predict both the PS5 Pro and Nintendo Alarmo last year, there’s one incredibly good reason to be skeptical here: He also said the console was due to be launched last week.

Fans have discovered there’s already stock of nearly 400,000 Nintendo Switch 2 in the US, as the console is predicted to involve a significant price rise.

While Nintendo itself is still keeping any firm Switch 2 details under wraps until its dedicated showcase next month, analysts believe the company is on course to deliver the biggest launch in game industry history.

Experts have predicted that Nintendo's next console, the Switch 2, could be one of the biggest console launches ever but it could end up costing gamers more than anticipated

In a new report by Bloomberg, analysts who are regularly in contact with Nintendo and its hardware/software partners are expecting the Nintendo Switch to carry a price tag of $400-$500 USD ($650-$795 AUD).
