Sådan som det globale marked ser ud, så koster det mere at fremstille forbrugerlelektronik, og dermed er profitmarginalerne mindre. Desuden er der høj inflation verden over. Nogle virksomheder, såsom Meta, har valgt at hæve prisen på deres Quest-headsets, men sådan bliver det ikke med Nintendo Switch-konsollen.
I et interview med Nikkei forklarer præsident Shuntaro Furukawa, at selvom at det koster mere at producere hver eneste konsol end tidligere, så er det ikke i kortene at hæve prisen for nu:
"We're not considering [a price increase] at this point, for two reasons. In order to offer unique entertainment to a wide range of customers, we want to avoid pricing people out. Our competition is the variety of entertainment in the world, and we always think about pricing in terms of the value of the fun we offer. Our products also include software. Nintendo has sold more than 100 million Switch units so far, and it's important to maintain the momentum of our overall business. Generally speaking, a weak yen makes domestic Switch sales less profitable."
Furukawa afslørede også, at det er OLED-modellerne der lider mest under de ringere forhold.
