Nintendo officially cut the price of the standard Nintendo Switch console in Europe earlier this month.
The new price adopted by retailers is €269.99 (down from €329.99) in Europe and £259.99 (down from £279.99) in the UK. However, since Nintendo does not set an official RRP in Europe, these prices could yet fall further.
In comparison, the Nintendo Switch Lite currently retails for around £199.99 / €200 and the upcoming OLED model will retail for around £309.99/ €349.99.
However, Nintendo of America has said it has “no plans” to cut the price of the Switch in that region.
