Nintendo says it’s not planning another Switch 2 price hike
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said during the company's latest earnings call that it's "not considering additional changes" to the Switch 2's price, Reuters reports. The Switch 2 got a $50 price hike earlier this year, bringing its starting price up to $499.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets focus on Nintendo and the Switch 2, but they frame the news differently. The Verge alone leads on Nintendo saying it is not planning another price hike, while CNBC, Engadget, and Tom's Hardware instead foreground weak Switch 2 sales and connect them to earlier price increases. CNBC also adds memory costs, and Tom's Hardware alone mentions investors pressing Nintendo for more big games.
