It’s time to think about the Nintendo Switch 2, with lots of running rumors. A price leak for the new console may have come out, and it has left some fans divided about what the console could improve with that kind of price increase.
A report claimed that the Nintendo Switch 2 may come with a $400 introductory price. Ever since this has come out, people are very excited and disappointed.

Most of its fans believe this is very well deserved because it promises great graphics and speed, along with some new features. But for others, it is somewhat on the high side, since there are similar gaming consoles of the same class.
When it originally launched in 2017, the base model of the Nintendo Switch was $300. Combining portability with a home console experience in one device, it was a huge success.

Since then, Nintendo has released updated versions-the Switch Lite and the Switch OLED, for example-and naturally, the fans are expecting another version to take things to the next level.
The newest rumors suggest the Nintendo Switch 2 will have some major upgrades, like 4K support for TV gaming and huge boosts in battery life.
Some rumors even go so far as to include features like ray tracing and faster load times, qualities reserved for the most powerful gaming systems. Such power would explain a $400 price point, at least.
Yet not everyone is convinced. To others, Nintendo should just keep its consoles affordable and fun to play, rather than trying to be some powerhouse system like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X.
At $400, the Switch 2 would fall more in line with those consoles, which boast cutting-edge performance. To some fans, this could be a gamble.
Social media reactions are mixed. Many are excited about what the console could offer. One fan tweeted, “If it’s $400 and has 4K, take my money!” Others are more skeptical. Another post read, “Nintendo is great, but at $400, I’d rather get a PS5.”
All speculation, since neither the price nor the release date of the Switch 2 has been confirmed on the part of Nintendo. An announcement in 2025 is not out of the question, seeing as the original Switch is getting long in the tooth.
Ultimately, the price debate highlights the different things fans value in a console. Some want top-tier performance and are willing to pay more. Others prioritize affordability and innovative gameplay, which Nintendo has always been known for.
Whatever the case, the Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases in gaming. Whether it’s $400 or not, fans are eagerly waiting to see how Nintendo plans to build on the success of the original Switch.
