Nintendo Weighs Switch 2 Price Hike as Memory Costs Rise

Nintendo reports strong Switch 2 demand with 17.37 million units sold since June 2025 and a forecast of 19 million for the year, but president Shuntaro Furukawa says a price increase is being “carefully considered” after reviewing platform adoption, sales trends, costs, profitability and market conditions. Rising memory prices could pressure profits in the next fiscal year, though there are no immediate risks for the current year. Nintendo will monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
