Nintendo Switch could be getting a major drop in its price in the coming weeks according to a retail leaker. One of the popular French Nintendo sites Nintend’Alerts, posted on a tweet that the Switch is set to drop its prices to $70 from next week.
Switch has been one of the fastest-selling consoles of the last decade and in the past four years, there has been no official price drop for the handheld console. With Nintendo Switch OLED ready to be launched on October 8, this could be a turning point for all the fans of the community who had been meaning to purchase the console but couldn’t afford it.
Last year, Nintendo Switch was officially launched in China in partnership with Tencent and has sold more than 1 million consoles throughout the country.
Fans are still waiting for an official announcement from Nintendo and even if this news turns out to be true, there’s no guarantee it’ll apply to all regions. Although Nintend’Alerts has been known for delivering correct leaks to the community in the past.
