>Amid this crucial context for the beginning of a new generation, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa gave an interview to the Japanese newspaper Kyoto Shimbun, addressing a wide variety of strategic topics. Among the main points were the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 in light of this memory crisis, the company's vision for new games and established franchises, as well as plans involving films, potential anime, and the expansion of the Nintendo brand beyond games. The conversation offers a rare glimpse into the company's current philosophy and how Nintendo envisions its future in the coming years.>When questioned about production costs and potential price increases, Furukawa adopted a cautious tone. He explained that the Switch 2 components had been acquired based on "medium--term" orders which are still being fulfilled throuout the first quarter of 2026, which helps to reduce the immediate impact of market fluctuations, such as the current increase in memory prices, driven by high demand from the artificial intelligence sector.>Still, the executive acknowledged that if spot prices were not stabilized by the time orders were completely fulfilled, the company would have no choice but to purchase components at the current market rate. When asked directly about the possibility of price adjustments for the console, he did not shy away from answering that it would be inevitable in this scenario. However, he stated the company remains confident that component costs will return to normal rates in the coming months.
Buying the MKW bundle on launch day was one of the best investments we've ever made

Alright guys. We spent all of last year on a Holy Crusade against Sony for raising the price of their 5 year old console, while ignoring our friends doing the same for their 8 year old console, and the newly released switch 2 accessories. We even doubled down on how this was the worst thing ever. Any ideas how we can defend our friends for being even greedier than Sony and raising the price on their <1 year old console? We need a plan.
>>730749794Raising the price on a 5 year console is more egregious than raising the price of a 1 year old consoleStill bought a PS5 Astrobot bundle for $299 on Black Friday thoughbeit
>>730749659Literally everything in the OP is made up, it's not part of that article. All Furukawa said was that they have long contracts and he can't speak on hypothetical situations
WII U 2
>>730749339I didn't boughted the OLED Switch 1, and I won't boughted the OLED Switch 2. I play docked
>>730750075I wish.The Wii U was good.
>>730748660They need to fund all those games they're not making.
>>730749889See that’s a good line of attack, but I feel like people outside our cult wouldn’t see it that way because then they can counter and say that our friends raising the price of their 8 year old console (which we hand saved away btw) is more egregious still. Back to the drawing board :/
>>730749794>>730750075>>730750190>>730750238>>730750332Why is this mentally ill snoy literally making shit up?

>>730748762>Buying the MKW bundle on launch dayAnon, everyone knows you don't even own a Switch 2. Your brown hands literally admitted you were waiting for another bundle.
