The former Sony Interactive Entertainment America Shawn Layden has discussed the prices of Nintendo Switch 2 games.
Speaking in a new episode of Podcast Playerdive, Layden argued that Nintendo could get his own by carrying more for the games.
“80 dollars for a game, but it is the only place where you can play Mario Then you take out your wallet and buy it, “he said.” AND Kong donkey and Zelda“
“That exclusivity of the first part mitigates the crash of the sticker […] From these price walks because you want that bad content, “he continued.
Information about the price of Nintendo Switch 2 and its software was available after last week Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. The console itself is sold for $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 / au $ 699.95, with a separate Mario de Mario Kart Package available for $ 499.99 / £ 429.99 / AU $ 769.95.
A physical copy of Mario de Mario Kart On its own, it will cost $ 79.99 / £ 74.99, one step upwards of $ 69.99 / £ 69.99 that has become largely standard for the AAA PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S.
This high price has been the subject of a lot of containment online, and many fans argue that Nintendo is charging too much for their products. It is worth noting that the prices of other Nintendo Switch 2 games, for example, $ 69.99 / £ 66.99 Kong Bananza donkeywill vary.
We will have to see if Layden is correct, although given the apparent emotion that surrounds Nintendo Switch 2 early orders, it seems that many players are willing to support the cost.
