Journalists from the Izvestia newspaper have published a document in which they collected information about the recently announced Nintendo Switch 2, including the opinions of experts from various fields on the price of handheld game consoles. Experts believe that everyone should prepare for a high price of 90 thousand rubles.
According to Yaroslav Meshalkin, managing partner of the digital media company Heads'made, at first they will ask for at least 70 thousand rubles for Switch 2, then the price will be reduced to 50 thousand rubles. But IT expert Sergei Pomortsev talked about the cost of 90 thousand.
The high price could last much longer than in the case of the PS5 Pro. The shopping fever will quickly subside if Nintendo does not offer attractive exclusive products in the Switch 2 launch series that will be of interest to Russian gamers. I believe that the lack of consoles and the opportunity to be the first to “fly” into the new part of Mario Kart or The Legend of Zelda will do the trick.
Some experts emphasize that they will be interested in considering the competition between the Japanese company's new utility and Valve's Steam Deck, although “this will not affect the Russian market in any way.” What kind of food?”
Nintendo has not yet announced an exact release date for the Switch 2, however, if rumors are to be believed, the console will be released in May-June this year. A big presentation of the games for the device that will be shown will take place on April 2. It is possible that the launch date of the console will be announced there.
