The Nintendo Switch 2 is on its way here, but if you want an upgrade, it's going to be more than the $300 you paid for the original.

The San Francisco shop will join the New York location along with three stores in Japan. Will the May 15 opening in the Bay Area coincide with the Switch 2 launch?

Regarding the potential higher price point relative to the OG Switch, Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda said the Switch 2's new chipset from Nvidia will cost as much as $150, which compares to $80 per unit for the original Switch. Given that, Yasuda said, "I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo goes ahead with $499."

Multiple industry analysts share some bittersweet predictions concerning the Nintendo Switch 2 price, production costs, and sales prospects.

Nintendo Switch 2 might be priced $499 with its games costing $70. Nevertheless, it's predicted to have the biggest launch in the history of games.

In a new report by Bloomberg, analysts who are regularly in contact with Nintendo and its hardware/software partners are expecting the Nintendo Switch to carry a price tag of $400-$500 USD ($650-$795 AUD).

The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been revealed, but gamers are still trying to figure out how much the console will cost. According to analysts interviewed by Bloomberg, the console could cost as little as $399 and up to $499.
