According to a report by Takahashi Mochizuki of Bloomberg, at Nintendo’s most recent quarterly results report, the company was questioned about the possibility of raising the price of its immensely successful system, which has already sold 114.44 million copies around the globe. The Japanese business has decided not to raise the cost of the Switch for the time being; nevertheless, they will continue to keep an eye on the situation and give it considerable thought to determine whether or not they will need to make a choice.
— Takashi Mochizuki (@6d6f636869) November 8, 2022 It has never happened before, but considering the current state of the global economy and the fact that inflation is rampant in many areas of the globe, it would not be strange if the Japanese business decided to follow this course of action and raise the price of its Nintendo Switch device. It would also be a change from the firm’s senior position since the corporation has traditionally attempted to avoid increasing the costs of items that have already been introduced, as Takashi Mochizuki pointed out. There is a possibility that the price of other items of gaming gear, in addition to the Nintendo Switch system, may go up shortly. Phil Spencer, the CEO of Xbox, remarked on the likelihood of a price rise being implemented for both the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass earlier this month. He said that at some time in the future, they would be required to raise the prices of some goods. On the other hand, Sony has already taken action, as shown by the fact that the company introduced the cost of the PlayStation 5 system in several markets back in September. For gamers all over the globe, gaming seems to be heading toward becoming a more financially burdensome activity, given the current state of the global economy.
