Nintendo has just revealed, that they cannot rule out price increases for the Nintendo Switch.
Will the Nintendo Switch price increase? One thing is clear, buying a console in 2022 is not ideal, as most prices for practically everything are going up. Many console manufacturers are struggling with the difficult global economic situation and are having a hard time keeping their prices as low as possible due to high global inflation rates.
This has already happened with the PS5, as the console's retail price was recently increased in many regions. Now that Christmas is just around the corner, many Nintendo fans are worried that their perfect gift might soon become more expensive if they don't buy it right away.
