Edit: ~~I changed the image to not be 510 euros for the Switch 2 price but 500, it was not meant to be the MSRP of the Mario Kart bundle but a general actually-sold-as value based on what retailers are listing the normal Switch 2 as.~~ Changed to just be 470 euros now, I don't have a local retailer where you can pre-order it at 470 so keep that in mind.

I've been seeing a significant amount of people saying that the switch prices (even ignoring the video game pricing) is just due to inflation or due to the US tariffs which is nonsense. I think it is important to share images like this around, to show that that isn't the case.

Nintendo saw the success of the Wii U and wanted to keep the Switch 2 at ~$470 when adjusted for inflation
