Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Nintendo’s stock dropped 12% after the Switch 2 price increase to $499 in the US from the expected $449.99. The change starts in September 2026 for Western markets due to higher memory and component costs plus tariffs and exchange rates. The company also cut its sales forecast to 16.5 million units next year, down from nearly 20 million, but President Shuntaro Furukawa said the Switch 2 is selling faster than the original console
