Nintendo’s Switch 2 Price Stays Put as RAM Costs Drift, Install Base Is Priority

Nintendo says it has not decided to raise the Switch 2 price despite RAM/memory price spikes, citing long-term supplier deals and inventory stockpiles; if costs persist longer, pricing could be reconsidered, but the company is prioritizing expanding the Switch 2’s install base to drive software sales rather than jumping to a $500 price tag.
