Unlike Sony, which intends to compensate for its losses by increasing the price of its PS5, especially in Europe (and therefore, in France), Nintendo is not going to play it that way with its future customers. Indeed, the Kyoto firm confirmed very recently, in remarks relayed by the American media VG Chartz, that it would not increase the price of its hardware.

Nintendo: the price of the Switch will not change!
« As our Chairman, Mr. Furukawa, stated at the 82nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June said a Nintendo spokesperson. “Although we cannot comment on pricing strategies, we currently have no plans to change the price of our hardware due to inflation or increased procurement costs in each country. We will determine our future pricing strategies through careful and ongoing deliberation. Although the final price for consumers is still determined by retailers, as Mr. Furukawa said, Nintendo has no plans to increase the retail price of its hardware. »
