Nintendo Switch 2 price increases amid console market woes

Nintendo faces a mixed week with the announcement of a Star Fox 64 remake, potentially boosting its lineup. However, the company also revealed a significant price increase for the upcoming Switch 2, raising its cost by $50. This move comes as the broader console market grapples with escalating expenses, driven by tariffs and a persistent global memory chip shortage. Nintendo was the last major console manufacturer to maintain its original pricing, making this adjustment a notable shift in the industry landscape.
