The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be priced between US$400 (RM1,772) to US$500 (RM2,215) according to analysts in a Bloomberg report, making it priced on par with Sony's PlayStation 5 and the most expensive Nintendo console yet.

Tokyo-based analyst Serkan Toto said that regardless of the potential price hike, Nintendo will still "sell boatloads of Switch 2 in the first months in particular".
