Perhaps the biggest controversy of the Nintendo Switch 2 argument is the revelation that Nintendo's flagship games will retail for $80 RRP. That's a huge mark up from the $70 standard today, and will push games over $100 in some territories due to currency conversions, tariffs, and whatever else.

As mentioned yesterday here at Pure Xbox, the Nintendo Switch 2 might surprisingly fall in-line with the ASUS Xbox handheld when it comes to price. It's been rumoured that the 2025 Xbox handheld will fall somewhere around the $499-$599 mark, and if it's on the lower end of that scale, it's going to make the decision tough for some consumers!
