Last night, Nintendo announced the price of Switch 2:

Priced at $449 in North America.In comparison, the first generation Switch in 2017 was launched for $300.The Switch 2's starting price is 50% more expensive.

The domestic special edition of Japan is priced at 49,980 yen (about RMB 2,498), and the multilingual edition is 69,980 yen (about RMB 3,498).In comparison, the first generation Switch in 2017 was 32,378 yen (tax included).The Switch 2's starting price is 54% more expensive.

The price in Hong Kong, China is 3,450 Hong Kong dollars, which is approximately RMB 3,237.In comparison, the Switch released in 2019 is priced at 2,099 yuan.

It can be seen that the first launch price of Switch 2 in all parts of the world is much more expensive than the first-generation Switch, basically around 50%.

The cheapest version is the Japanese domestic version, which costs only 49,980 yen, which is about 2,498 yuan/334 US dollars, which is about 120 US dollars cheaper than the global version.However, this version locks the language and account, and is only available for purchase by players in Japan, which is envious.

Foreign players said:

So, in other words, they sell the console to Japanese players much cheaper, and do they not want people outside of Japan to take advantage of this?

Many people blame this on tariffs instead of the fact that the yen has long been weak, and they also think it is to make Japanese players afford the host. This is both funny and worrying.You didn't listen carefully when you were in economics class, you can see now.

I'm disappointed with the hardware specifications.The larger screen and controller are the only enhancements...

This means that if you are in other countries and want to buy Japanese digital versions of the game through this version, you will be restricted.Eshop's payment method only supports Japanese credit cards or PayPal accounts, and overseas users cannot directly purchase them using payment methods from other countries.
