Nintendo raises Switch 2 price in US, Canada, Japan and Europe

Japan's Nintendo said it is raising the price of its Switch 2 gaming console after reporting a 71 percent rise in operating profit to 59.7 billion yen (about SEK 3.5 billion) for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Despite the increase, that figure was lower than expected.

The reported operating profit compares with an average analyst forecast of 74.8 billion yen, according to Bloomberg.

Sales almost doubled, up 95 percent, to 407.2 billion yen, falling short of expectations of 415.5 billion yen.

In connection with the report, Nintendo has announced price increases for the Switch 2 game console in the US, Canada, Japan and Europe. In Europe, the price in the company's own online store will be increased to 499.99 euros (just over 5,400 SEK), from the previous 469.99 euros.
