The Nintendo Switch 2’s price will bring sticker shock to fans. With a starting price of $449, it’s one of the most expensive machines that the company has put up for sale. The barebones system won’t come with any games, and it will have minimal accessories included with the box.

Video games are expensive, but they don't have to be. This is how I manage to play the best games without it costing me and arm and a leg.

The Switch 2 has hit a sales milestone faster than any other hardware before. However, there's still a long way to go to hit its goal of 15 million sales.
