We can look at the current market prices for the PS5 and Xbox Series X to work out an average. Given that the Nintendo Switch 2 should feature significantly improved hardware, as well as a better higher resolution screen, the asking price is likely to be higher, too. The Nintendo Switch carries an MSRP of $259.99 / £259.99 / AUD$435, with the newer Nintendo Switch OLED having a sticker price of $349.99 / £309.99 / AU$539.95. We can estimate the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 by casting our minds back to the original console hardware launches as a reference. Whether or not the successor machine can rival the PS5 and the Xbox Series X remains to be seen, but it's pretty unlikely, that's because Nintendo has typically been a step behind the competition in terms of raw horsepower, at least as far as the last two decades are concerned. That's the greatest strength of a potential Nintendo Switch 2 console the ability to greatly improve the hardware under the hood so that games can look and run well for many years to come.
The Nintendo Switch's hybrid nature is still impressive, but it's certainly lost a little bit of that wow factor from the early days of 2017 when it originally launched. Some of the best Nintendo Switch games are starting to struggle with their performance even from first-party titles.
However, as much as it's one of the best handheld gaming consoles, for these improvements, the actual core hardware inside was not changed. The latest hardware revision from the company happened with the Nintendo Switch OLED over two years ago, which saw improvements to the display, a doubling of the internal storage, and improved speakers.
