Nintendo Switch price accidentally leaked?

Not long ago, Nintendo has announced to the world its newest console in the market, the Nintendo Switch. The new console is slated for a March 2017 release, although that can change. No further information has been revealed. The lack of information has every players wondering about many aspects of the console. How much it will cost, when exactly will it be released, what games will be available, etc. Just recently, it seems that the Nintendo Switch price has been leaked on accident!

WCCFTech has spotted on the website of Canadian branch of Toys R Us the listing of Nintendo Switch, and it included the price as well! The listing has been since removed, however we caught a glimpse of a possible starting price point for the console. According to the old listing, the hybrid console is available at $329.99 CAD, which means roughly $250 USD. That is around the same level of price with the basic verions of the Xbox One and PS4, and even on par with the successful Wii, which was priced at $249.99 USD. If this is true, the price of Nintendo Switch will be very competitive.

If the price turns out to be true, hen we can infer that the Nintendo Switch will be much cheaper to produce than the not-so-successful Wii U. Nintendo has previously stated that it will not sell the new console – Switch – at a loss. The Wii U was sold at a loss, whose price started at $299.99 USD. Additionally, there are also reports of a premium version of Switch as well, with higher storage capacity and one included game. The gamers will be very happy with this price if it is true.

Nintendo Switch price: Reasonable if true

If the leaked price is indeed Nintendo’s recommended price, it will be good news for gamers, as the price will be comparable to Xbox One and PS4. Nintendo has said more information will be revealed in its January event. Are you excited?
