Nintendo Switch Won't Be Getting a Price Increase 'At This Point' Despite Higher Costs

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has stated that the Nintendo Switch will not be getting a price increase "at this point," despite the higher costs to produce the hardware, as the company wishes to "avoid pricing people out." Speaking to Nikkei Asia, Furukawa said Nintendo has no plans to adjust the price of the Switch to "offset rising production and shipping costs," and these comments follow Meta's decision to raise the price of the Meta Quest 2 by $100 as "the costs to make and ship [Meta's] products have been on the rise.""We're not considering [a price increase] at this point, for two reasons," Furukawa said.
