About a month ago, Nintendo announced price hikes for Switch 1 consoles sold in Canada. The price increases would apply to all Switch 1 models still available in the country starting August 1. This prompted another wave of speculation that the brand-new Switch 2 console might see price hikes in the near future.

Nintendo has already sold 5.7 million Switch 2s since the console went on sale on June 6th, and Nintendo expects to sell 15 million units by the end of its fiscal year.

Nintendo quietly raised the price of almost every piece of gaming hardware and accessory it sells over the weekend, with the Switch 2 itself being one of the few exceptions. Some experts believe it’s only a matter of time before the Mario Kart World machine gets more expensive too,
