And perhaps most importantly, how much will the Switch 2 cost gamers?

It represents a critical psychological threshold that balances premium hardware aspirations against mainstream market accessibility, wrote Dreunen.

It signals a meaningful technical advancement without alienating its core family demographic.

MST Financial senior research analyst David Gibson made a similar price projection when speaking toCNBCearlier this month.

If the Switch 2 is supply-constrained at launch, Nintendo could charge more, Elliot said.

I think Sony and Microsoft regret releasing the base PS5 and Series X consoles at $500.

Both could have got away with $600 or more at launch.

The $700 PlayStation 5 Pro is eye-wateringly expensive in comparison as well.

Plus, Switch 2 owners will still be able to play most ofthe original Switchs libraryon the new console.

That may very well be enough to get gamers to cough up the $399.
