After an agonizing wait, Nintendo finally revealed more details on the Switch 2 during a Direct presentation on the morning of April 2nd. While Nintendo told us very little in the official reveal of the console in January, the company announced during the Direct that the Switch 2 would launch on June 5th and cost $449.99.

Even at its $450 MSRP, Nintendo is believed to sell the Switch 2 at a loss in the United States - a tactical decision that counts on software and services.

“Such a move would take years,” New York University Stern School of Business economics professor Joseph Foudy told Polygon. “Nintendo would have to set up a final assembly factory in the U.S., which means finding land, building a facility, and recruiting a workforce.”
