Nintendo Switch has seen its first significant price drop ever in the US, months after regions such as the UK and Europe saw a similar reduction in price.
The console can now be purchased for $259.99, a reasonable $40 drop from the previous $299.99 price point it’s held onto for almost five years.
Nintendo Switch Drops to Just $260 For First Time
Back in September 2021, Nintendo Switch consoles sold in Europe got an official price cut not long before the Switch OLED Model was released. There was some speculation about a US cut as well, but Nintendo previously responded to this by saying “no plans” for a price drop in the US.
But, around nine months later, a price reduction has finally come to fruition, with Nintendo Switch consoles currently down to $259.99 at Amazon and Walmart. It is currently not clear whether this will be a permanent price cut, or simply a limited-time sale or promotion for the Switch.
