If you've been debating whether or not to pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 then you'll want to act soon.
Japanese exporters are having to cope with President Trump's tariff hikes and other higher costs that have been worsened by the war in Iran.
It's not a matter on if it would happen, only a matter of when.
In March, Sony announced it was hiking the prices of its PlayStation 5 family of consoles by between $100-$150. The PlayStation 5's cheapest model—the Digital Edition with no disc drive— now costs $599.99, while the version with the disc drive costs $649.99.

Nintendo hikes Switch 2 prices and expects console sales to decline as memory crunch bites
Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a buy, as the market underestimates the company's long-term durability and legendary IP. NTDOY's fortress balance sheet, 33% ROIC, and first-party IP-driven ecosystem give it competitive advantages within its sector and support ongoing shareholder returns. Q3 FY 2026 saw Switch 2 record-breaking sales, strong game software performance, and successful movie expansion that highlight Nintendo's resilient and growing franchise demand.
The proposed class action lawsuit says the company stands to benefit twice from the now-voided import duties.
Nintendo (NTDOY) is rated a buy, supported by upcoming software and IP-driven profit growth starting in the next fiscal year. Lower margin sales have been frontloaded in our view. Pokopia's strong sales and the Mario 2 movie are set to deliver significant margin and profit boosts over the next fiscal year, with the former also helping in Q4. Switch 2 hardware margins are pressured by region-locked Japanese models, but due to the low price of these models these sales have likely been aggressively frontloaded.
Nintendo Co., Ltd. is rated a buy after a sharp 40% drop, with valuation now considered cheap and early bullish divergence signals emerging. Switch 2 sales surged 67.66% QoQ, driving net sales up 99.3% YoY to ¥1.906T for the first three quarters of FY 2026, despite inflation and tariffs. Robust liquidity, strong customer loyalty, and successful franchises like Pokémon and Super Mario underpin NTDOY's resilience and growth prospects.
Nintendo may once again have the biggest movie of the year with the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. It is competing directly with Disney and driving more customers to its popular game franchises.
Nintendo released “Pokémon Pokopia” on March 5, the second Pokémon game released for Nintendo's Switch 2 console. Nintendo previously released “Pokémon Legends: Z-A” in December, part of the main series of Pokémon games, which sold 5.8 million copies in its first week of release.
