Since our first glimpse of the Switch 2 last month, we’ve been left guessing on many crucial hardware details, including the all-important launch price. Now, Nintendo has hinted that the unsteady state of the international money market may play an outsize role in that pricing decision.
Addressing a question about Switch 2 hardware pricing during an investor Q&A session Wednesday, Nintendo president Shintaro Furukawa said (via machine translation):
In addition to the current inflation, we are aware that the exchange rate environment has changed significantly since the launch of the Nintendo Switch in 2017. We also need to consider the affordable price that customers expect from Nintendo products. When considering the price of a product, we believe that it is necessary to consider these factors from multiple angles.
At this time, we cannot disclose the specific price of the Nintendo Switch 2, but we are considering it while taking various points into consideration. At this time, we do not plan to change the price of the Nintendo Switch hardware.
Most of that is the usual polite executive-speak shorthand for “we’re not ready to answer that yet.” But the bit about exchange rates and inflation got us wondering just how vulnerable a Japanese company like Nintendo might be to the yen’s historic weakness, and what this might mean for the Switch 2.
