Nintendo said it will raise the price of the Switch 2 in Japan to 59,980 yen, or about $382, starting May 25. The system currently costs 49,980 yen, or about $318, in Japan. In the United States, the price will rise to $499.99 in September, up from $449.99.

Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2 in several regions around the world, pointing to ongoing economic and market pressures as the reason behind the adjustment. In the U.S., the console’s price will increase from $449.

Despite all this success, Nintendo has still lowered its expectations for the Switch 2. Over the next year the estimate has been reduced from 19.86 million new sales to 16.5 million, which is no small drop. Although the price increases—especially the far more significant rises in Japan—will likely make up for a big chunk of the expecting income.

While all eyes are on the Switch 2 console following the release of Nintendo's financial results briefing today, its predecessor has continued to cement itself as Nintendo's best-selling console of all time with 155.
