Despite Switch 2 price hikes, US consumers actually aren't spending any more on the console now, analyst says: "Pretty smart cookies over there at Nintendo"
Despite a $50 price increase, consumer spending on the Nintendo Switch 2 has only risen by 2% year-over-year, according to analyst Mat Piscatella. This is significantly lower than the spending increases seen for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which experienced 17% and 33% hikes respectively. Piscatella attributes the Switch 2's stable spending to Nintendo's strategic shift away from bundled content, noting the company's clever approach to pricing.
