Bill Trinen, Nintendo’s VP of Player & Product Experience, recently discussed the console’s price, noting inflation and the increased cost of modern technologies.
“We’re living in an era where inflation is affecting everything… as you add more technology into a system, especially in this day and age, that drives additional cost,” Trinen said to Insider Gaming.
He also mentioned that smart gadgets have become more expensive since the mid-2000s, which explains the Switch 2’s $150 price rise over the original Switch’s $299 retail price in 2017.
For those who are concerned about the expense, Nintendo has jokingly suggested staying with the original Switch, which will continue to receive support for the foreseeable future.
