Nintendo Switch just got a massive discount in the US markets for the first time. Different retailers and distributors are now selling the advanced console for $259.99, which shows a significant 13% drop from the original price.

It all started in the UK and European markets before the launch of the OLED version, but there was no update regarding a price drop in the US. The previous price of the console was $300, which is now available at a discount of $20 to $40.

The release of the OLED version of the Switch acted as a cherry on the icing as it allowed the company to make a handsome profit.


Nintendo Switch was released six years back. With an introductory price of $300, the company never discounted the console. It was pretty odd for its fans, as other consoles saw a prize drop in a few years or the same one.

A prime example of this would be the Wii, which got a discount after three years of release, and the Wii U, which went down right after the first year. So, the price drop for the new Nintendo Switch has created a buzz in the markets.
