Nintendo Switch 2 Bundle for $449.99

Considering the impending price hike coming to the Switch 2 in the fall, Amazon's deal today could be the last big markdown on the console before that price increase happens. Nintendo has announced that the Switch 2 console with no game will increase from $450 to $500, so we can expect the console game bundles to increase at that point as well.

What does this have to do with Apple? Macs? Mac-Rumors? 🤷

Switch 2 wasn't a super compelling upgrade for Switch 1. I don't think it's selling as well as they'd like.
You do realize it’s the second fastest selling console in the US gaming history and the fastest selling console of all time right?

It wasn't? I guess you haven't used both.

- Bigger screen at 120hz vs smaller 60hz
- Switch 2 capable of 4K docked, original switch 1080 docked
- Pretty sizable upgrade to the joy-cons. The original felt cheap, the 2's are a lot more sturdy and feel preium
- Performance is very noticeable over the original switch. Titles that struggled to maintain 60 fps are buttery smooth on the 2.
- Next gen exclusives like Star Fox 2 & Donkey Kong World, and Mario Kart World. This list will doubt expand.

The shorter battery life is a con.

Did Nintendo accidentally build 1 billion units? This is so the opposite of every other company's current behavior.

Yeah. My guess is that they spent good 18-24 months producing a whole mess of consoles before they even announced the thing. They sold through initial inventory pretty fast but it's been relatively easy to find since shortly after.
That it is easy to find is a credit to Nintendo's supply chain planning, not evidence that it’s not selling. As others have stated above, it has sold extremely well.

With respect to it not being a super compelling upgrade, I beg to differ on that point as well. Let's set aside the gimmicky camera and mouse controls because, in my opinion, they'll never stick. Apart from that, the backward compatibility, an excellent library from Day 1, a larger 120 Hz display, and better overall hardware quality have made it a terrific upgrade for me. While the exclusive Switch 2 library still needs work, the upgrades to games like Breath of the Wild are huge quality of life improvements that make a 9-year-old game feel fresh.

With prices on the other platforms rising sharply in recent months, if Nintendo can avoid going beyond $499 later this year, I think they’ll do very well during the 2026 holiday season.
