Will devoted Nintendo fans shell out $450 for the Switch 2 despite feeling let down?

Nintendo held off announcing the price of the Switch 2 in its big Switch 2 Direct on Wednesday. Instead, perhaps in preparation for the inevitable sticker shock, the $449 price point was slipped into a news release tucked away in a bevy of other facts. Nintendo also announced that a limited-supply bundle that comes with a copy of Mario Kart World would retail for $499.99. The Mario Kart sequel runs $80 as a standalone game.

In the wake of Nintendo’s pricey announcements, we’ve seen reactions from folks all across the internet, and even in our own personal group chats with friends, land all over the place. In January, we predicted that the console would be sold at $399, and in our reader survey, almost 57% of you agreed with us. Just 9% of our respondents predicted that the Switch 2 would cost $449. So now the question stands: Will you buy a Switch 2 for $449.99?
