Nintendo Switch: 10 Launch Rumours You Need To Know

10. It'll Cost Around £200

The price of any console plays a major role in how well it'll sell. Technology like VR is still seen by many to be too expensive to have mass market appeal, and you've only to look at how much PS4 sales were boosted following its price cut after launch. So all eyes are on Nintendo to ensure they don't alienate gamers by pricing the Switch too high.

It's been confirmed by Nintendo that they don't intend to sell the console at a loss, meaning they won't be taking a slice of the price away in order to drive up the install base. This information has some fans worried the cost will be substantial.

It's rumoured, however, that the Switch will launch at around $250, with a $300 bundle available which includes a game. This is further backed up by the fact that website Gameseek is now accepting pre-orders for £198.50 - and the website guarantees the pre-order price, meaning once ordered, that's how much the customer pays.

There's no way Gameseek would risk losing huge profits by guessing an arbitrary price. So fans don't have to be concerned about an insanely expensive console.
