Nintendo's Switch 2 Will Be Much Cheaper in Japan, But There's a Catch
www.pcmag.com
In Japan, gamers can get a Switch 2 for about $343, but it only supports the Japanese language and won't work outside the country. Nintendo is reportedly trying to address weak yen.

There is a Japan exclusive console Nintendo Switch 2 edition, that costs much less than the default multi language Nintendo Switch 2. Japan has two Switch 2 consoles in Japan.

supposibly the cheaper Switch will only work in Japan, and only support the Japanese language.

Nintendo putting their own country first? and charging everyone else more? huh?

    The Wii released in 2006 for $250USD. Inflation adjusted this is $397 today.

    Wii U: 2013, $300= $412 today.

    Switch: 2017, $300= $391 today.

    The price of the switch 2 is consistent with past pricing. I haven’t paid much attention to the switch 2 and don’t know whether $400 is a good value. Just pointing out that the pricing hasn’t really changed.

      Most people keep forgetting the cost of inflation when they complain about the price of the Switch 2. Not that it really matters because it’s already predicted to sell well during its initial release at least.
