TL;DR
Regional Pricing Differences
In Macedonia, the Nintendo Switch 2 is available at stores like Anhoch and Galerija, but stock is limited and prices are higher than average, around €510 compared to the regular €470 [1:3]. This price discrepancy is attributed to a single importer setting prices for retailers
[1:2].
Used vs. New Purchases
In Brazil, buying a used Nintendo Switch can sometimes be more expensive than purchasing a new one due to the unpredictable used market [2:4]. A used OLED model was priced at R$2300, while new units were available for R$1900 on platforms like Shopee
[2:6]. It's advised to check current market prices before deciding on a purchase
[2:1].
Store-Specific Offers
In the US, game stores may offer discounts or bundle deals. For instance, an OLED model had a $50 discount when bundled with Mario Wonder [3:5]. However, some stores have been criticized for poor pricing strategies, such as selling uncleaned or improperly priced units
[3].
Market Dynamics
Despite competition from consoles like the Xbox Series S, which shares a similar price point, the Nintendo Switch maintains its price due to strong sales and demand [5:1]
[5:4]. The portability of the Switch differentiates it from stationary consoles like the Xbox Series S
[5:2], and Nintendo has no plans to reduce prices preemptively
[5:4].
Considerations Beyond Discussions
When comparing prices, consider additional factors such as warranty, return policy, and potential shipping costs if buying online. It may also be beneficial to explore international options if traveling, as prices can differ greatly between countries.
Hello friends, I will be on holiday in Macedonia (Skopje) in 2 weeks and I want to buy a Nintendo Switch 2. Which store gives the best price? Is Neptun good for buying?
Thanks for replies.
There is no place to pick - for everything there is 1 importer then it gives to everyone and they "tell" them the price.. be that Sony, Philips, Vivax, Nintendo.. etc. Very few company import and just give the stores like Neptun, Anhoch to sell
currently only available in anhoch and galerija to my knowledge. sold out in galerija, a couple units of the bundle are in stock at anhoch, but not in skopje :( maybe they'll stock it when you come though! just keep in mind that our price is quite a bit higher than it should be. around 510€ instead of the regular 470€.
EDIT: wrote this comment expecting the stock to stay the same from yesterday. apparently not! currently sold out everywhere.
really :(
I myself prefer Anhoch, then Setec and last place Neptun, but look for where the price is lowest and base your choice on that.
thank you :))
anhoch
anyone knows where can i buy switch 2 in skopje this week ?
Boa noite pessoal, tudo bem com vocês?
Vocês podem me ajudar com uma dúvida sobre preços e se compensa eu comprar um Nintendo switch usado?
Tem um amigo meu que comprou um, é um OLED meio diferente, acho que é da edição do super smash Bros. Ele desbloqueou e está vendendo por 2300.
Acho que ele usou o console por umas 100h no máximo, chutando alto.
Vele a pena? O último console da Nintendo que eu tive foi o 3DS, me diverti bastante mas depois eu parei de acompanhar.
Depende, vai do seu gosto e do preço que você pode arcar, lembrando que os jogos do switch são caros, melhor criar uma conta gringa e sempre ficar de olho em promoções! Eu particularmente gosto de comprar tudo novo. Sinceramente com o lançamento do Switch 2 eu compraria um versão normal, agora se você gosta muito de gráficos e quer uma versão “atualizada” pega o Oled
Eu compraria novo, o mercado de usados no Brasil é uma loucura, tem gente que pede mais caro que um Novo, e sinceramente não compensa economizar 10%~15% é um usado de qualidade duvidosa, que já foi mexido, aberto, soldado, por uma assistência que você nem sabe onde foi, tem muito desbloqueio pessimo no mercado. Melhor comprar um novo e mandar desbloquear em um local com referências. E com a chegada do novo hardware você terá um console que foi sempre seu, seu console ficará vintage nas suas mãos. Bem é minha opinião eu faria assim, esperto ter visto você observar outra opinião.
Obrigado por compartilhar a sua opinião. Eu acho que vou quetar meu faixo e comprar uma TV melhor pra jogar meu play que eu ganho mais.
Eu fiz exatamente isso e valeu muito a pena.
De switch eu vou logo no mais novo (switch 2) daqui a uns 3 anos.
Eu não sei por que as pessoas vem aqui perguntar se um certo valor vale a pena em vez de simplesmente olhar qual é o valor praticado no mercado.
Essa geração mais nova realmente nunca ouviu falar de Google?
Vai no Google ou no Mercado Livre olhar por quanto estão vendendo, e aí julga se vale a pena pagar 2300 num Switch usado.
Geração mais nova kkkkkkkkkk.
Se liga o voz da experiência, instalei Doom com disquete.
Eu olhei, vi no mercado livre por 3200 e achei estranho, o mais barato que eu achei era 2100. Já estava comprando dele achando que era bom negócio.
Aí eu lembrei que existe o Reddit com pessoas que ajudam.
Se você não se lembra, a gente costumava entrar em fóruns para dialogar e conversar com pessoas com maior experiência, normalmente não tinha comentários desnecessário que nem esse.
O negócio é que o comentário das pessoas tem muito mais chance de estar errado. Preços mudam com o tempo, e pessoas ficam presas em valores do passado.
Se O MAIS BARATO que tem na internet é 2100, então esse é o preço mais barato. Se uma pessoa te fala que 2100 tá caro, a pessoa falando isso é quem tá errada, porque você viu hoje mesmo os preços do mercado.
Não adianta nada alguém te falar "não compre acima de 1600" (inventei o valor), se ninguém vende por 1600 ou menos.
2300 é um novo, 1900 seria na faixa se é realmente pouco usado
Entendi, o fato de ser desbloqueado não aumenta o valor do vídeo game? Ele falou que pagou uns 700 para desbloquear ano passado.
Hoje na Shopee tinha na faixa de R$ 1900 novo, em 12x sem juros. O pessoal cobra uns R$ 400 - 500 pra desbloquear, eu tentaria negociar com seu amigo pra baixar o valor pra uns R$ 2.000
2000 no máximo, ainda continua sendo usado e tu não sabe como era usado
OLED desbloqueado se for um micro sd de 256gb compensa R$2.300, se for um micro sd menor 2.000-2.100
They had the lites for $170 and OLEDs for $300. Don't remember the regular ones pricing, but I'd imagine they were just as horrible. Nothing was even cleaned, not that even being fully refurbished would justify the price.
170 for a Switch lite, arent they like 100-110 now loose.
If you watch on eBay, you can find Switch Lite units with easy issues to fix for around $50 with shipping. I just got one that simply had the battery protection kick in from someone leaving it sitting around, so I took the back off, unplugged the battery, plugged it back in, and now it works just fine.
200 new IIRC
I paid $200 for mine brand new. And prices still the same when I'm at Walmart
$230 now, they raised all the prices (except the bundles, hilariously). OLED currently has a $50 discount if you bundle it with Mario Wonder.
“Save $50 if you add-on the latest 2D Mario game!” I was dying laughing at that all this morning tbh.
About to be 229.99. These will sell in a sale for $120 down from $170 at some point. Since they probably bought them for $50 to 75 it's a decent return. They will sell closer to the holiday when the buying population grows, especially during what is shaping up to be a slim holiday.
I bought one today, like new in mint box, for $100 CAD. There are tons ofvloose ones on Marketplace for $100-$150 CAD
New they are $230 now so 🤷♀️ lmfao
I bought two for $100 like 2 years ago
GameStop will give you 60 for trade in , and sell them for this same price of 169.99
They probably pay good for used ones then lol
It really is, so insanely over priced on some stuff and total wtf buy that right now prices on obscure stuff. I always stop in when I see one.
I don’t know why but a lot of people are lining up outside my nearest GameStop and when I asked, they said a new Nintendo was releasing.
I thought I might buy one two. I bought this old one in 2018 but I don’t know if it worth it. I don’t have the dock but I have those little strap thingies. I hope the color of the JoyCons don’t matter.
I also have a Wii U that I don’t need anymore.
I have a few games I wanted to trade in too:
I also have this white and black controller that I bought but doesn’t work on the Switch and this Pokeball that came with the Switch.
Could anyone tell me how much in store credit I would get for all of this? I heard there’s also bonuses this week. Thank you so much!
^(Shark for scale)
All of those games will work on the Switch 2. You'll regret trading them in later. Especially the ones with high replay ability.
Edit: I now see this is likely a joke post.
Give ya 50¢ for the shark.
Sarcasm off: I love your sarcasm!!
51 cents for the shark
52 cents for the shark
Damn. I guess I lost that auction. :(
Where did Eevee and Pikachu go? I don’t see them on the back of the switch, and you are missing a dock lol. Nice Shark though.
They’re there. Just the lighting is bad. I’ll share the dock if I can actually find it.

The xbox series s is $299 and the switch is the same price. The xbox series s being the sane price is most definitely going to affect sales, so would nintendo give a price cut for the switch?
The Switch is portable, the Xbox Series S is not.
Different business models entirely, Xbox is shifting focus to subscription services. Pony up if you want a Switch, the price is probably not going down as they're having to bump up production to meet the demand.
Nintendo isn't going to preemptively cut the price of the Switch. If the console is still selling out come the holiday season, there is literally no point in lowering the price.
Xbox series S is not a threat to the Switch. Totally different markets. Also, I believe the S is digital only with only a 512 GB SSD.
I’m sure you can attach an external drive, but 512GB seems laughable with how big some game sizes have gotten. That’s barely enough space for the current Call of Duty, NBA 2K21, and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Although true, it’s almost an entry level required purchase.
No. The Switch is already selling very well at $300, so why would they drop it?
is there a website where I can view the estimated prices of the different switches?
Shopee, lazada
Shopee and Lazada. Pwede rin sa mga official websites ng DataBlitz, GameOne, etc.
Make sure lang na Shopee and Lazada Mall yung pagtitingnan mo ng Nintendo Switch.
oki oki tenchuuu, are there like specific stores sa spotify or lazada na certified legit?
Game One, Game Extreme, Pixel Play

I was thinking of getting a switch but after looking into it I'm astonished how expensive it is not to mention it's games and accessories.
I suppose it's a simple case of supply and demand. There are no real handheld alternatives out there so Nintendo can take the p!ss with their prices. The switch lite couldn't be described as a great build either. The screen leaves a lot to be desired but if there are no alternatives out there...
I wanted it mainly for Breath of the wild. I'm a big Witcher 3 fan and BOTW always comes up along with the W3 in game of the decade debates. It looks fantastic. W3 game of the year edition is currently $16.59 on GOG. What's the cheapest BOTW has ever been? $50??
I used to own a Nintendo 64 back in the day so have been a Nintendo fan since then but the prices they're charging for aging technology is disappointing.
Do you think prices should be lower or are you happy to overpay for everything?
Number 1 selling console at Christmas. So no it’s not over priced, the games were on great sales.
This, just because OP doesn't want to pay for it, doesn't mean it's overpriced on the whole.
$300 is hardy out rages, as for the games brand new games for other systems cost $59.99 when they first come out. Now it is true that many core nintendo games rarely drop in price that is because they remain top sellers and retain their value. It’s always been like this. Nothing new.
Actually it seems the price cuts are quicker than it used to be, Tokyo Mirage sessions is already 50 dollars.
Where at? If it’s amazon or Walmart that’s because they’ve slashed the price on all games across the board.
I was referring to core Nintendo games like Mario and Zelda
That's not a price cut, it's a sale. Amazon, Wal-Mart, and whoever else are choosing to sell most new games cheaper (and giving up some profit) to compete with digital and other stores who don't do that. Nintendo still sets the suggested price at $60.
Lol what a loaded question at the end.
Dude started talking about other game prices in the end lmao.
But for real, OP check amazon I got in for 30€ in the end which was much better than the 59€ price most places ask for.
Overpaying. Lol.

Man I’m always missing out on these steals cause my timezone lol I just want my old games back not even to resell lol nice post OP lots of good stuff!
Aww man - hope you catch deals soon! and thanks for the kind words :)
What is the going rate for a second hand switch nowadays, I'm selling a 6 year old switch which is still in perfect condition, has the original box and all the bubble wrap that the parts came packaged in and I'm including 2 games, I'm asking £150 but people keep offering like £80. Like I understand people want the best deal possible but I have to make some money on it too
Is it one of the original ones, where the box is NOT mainly red? It's mainly grey I think. If so that can be worth more than other, later models if it is a hackable one. Because people will pay a premium for ones they can hack and get every game for life for free. If it is hackable, it's worth about £130 for the console. Other later models are £100ish and OLED about £140 but I don't think OLED was out 6 years ago.
And I can tell you prices if you name the games if you wish. But roughly for the bundle if they are mario or top label games £130-£160 depending on if the console is hackable.
People are just trying to get a bargain, so there is a margin for them to flip. But people are flooding the market now, selling their old console ready for switch 2. I got a V2 console and 6 top games for £120, that's all the seller wanted, I didn't even make an offer so people will try their luck knowing someone will eventually say yes to a cheap price.
This is the box and the 2 games I'm selling in the corner of it
So that's version 2 also called V2 or improved battery version and that is going for about £100 maybe up to £120 on the used market at the mo and the games are a fiver each. If they were boxed games they would only be £10 each so if I was you I'd ask for £120. Please see my post on Nintendo switch to see my credentials 😆
Bir kaç aya bir nintendo konsolu almak istiyorum çıktığından beri Nintendo Switch hayalim olmuştu ama alamamıştım Şimdi Nintendo Switch 2 de çıkmış sizce daha önce Nintendo konsolu eline almamış biri olarak hangisini almalıyım? Konsola göre oyun öneriside yaparsanız sevinirim.
Switch 2, 1in oyunlarını oynatıyor 1 ise 2nin oyunlarını oynatmıyor. Buna göre karar verebilirsiniz.
Switch 2 oyunları nedir mesela hocam örnek verebilir misiniz?
şuanda yeni splatoon oyunu ve yeni mario kart gibi birçok nintendo özel oyunu var ki gelmeye devam edicek bide switch 1 oyunlarını oynatabiliyor
Şuan first party çok az nintendo ilerleyen yıllarda pat diye salıyor oyunları yeni bir zelda çıksa şu donanımda bu sefer de 2 niye almadım diye pişman olursun paran varsa 2 iyidir
First party olarak: Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, Breath of the Wild (4K 60 FPS), Tears of the Kingsom (4K 60 FPS), Splatoon 3 (4K 60 FPS) Third Party ise: Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 0, ve çok fazla daha, en güzel gözüken 2026’da The Duskbloods.
maalesef bazı switch 1 oyunları 2 de oynanmıyor örneğin nier: automata :(
switch 2 alacakların istedikleri oyunların switch 2 uyumluluğunu kontrol etmesi gerek.
Kim diyor oynanmıyor diye? Kaynak gösterir misiniz
Bu tamamen maddi durumuna göre şekillenicek bir durum eğer maddi durumun her oyuna 3-4k vermeye açık değilse çipli switch oled alabilirsin evet switxh 2 nin oyunlarını oynatmıyor ama devasa bir kütüphanesi var
Maddi durumun iyiyse yada rahatsan switch 2 daha mantıklı tabiki çünkü şuan için switch 2 nin ben bu konsolu almalıyıö dedirten nir oyunu daha yok(bence) ama sen oled aldıktan bir hafta sonra çıkıp çok güzel bir oyunda çıkartabilirler s2 ye o yüzden paran varsa 2 yoksa 1 bence
Maddi durumum iyi ama yani bir konsola 26 k verilir mi ve yani bence Switch 1 de yeterli oyun var ama
Aradaki fiyat farkı seni çok zorlamayacaksa net switch 2
Paran varsa git switch 2 al.
Eger baska bir konsolun varsa ps, xbox gibi suanki hem kendı fiyati hemde oyunlarının fiyatı olarak switch daha mantikli ama tek konsolun switch olucaksa sabiki switch 2
Nintendo Switch price comparison
Key Considerations for Nintendo Switch Price Comparison:
Model Variants:
Retailers: Prices can vary between retailers. Check major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop for competitive pricing.
Bundles and Promotions: Look for bundles that include games or accessories, as these can provide better overall value. Seasonal sales (like Black Friday or holiday sales) often feature discounts.
Used vs. New: Consider purchasing a used or refurbished model from reputable sellers to save money. Just ensure it comes with a warranty or return policy.
Accessories: Factor in the cost of necessary accessories like extra controllers, carrying cases, and screen protectors, which can add to the overall expense.
Current Price Range (as of October 2023):
Recommendation: If you're looking for the best value, the standard Nintendo Switch is versatile for both handheld and docked play. If you primarily play on the go, the Switch Lite is a great budget option. For the best display and audio experience, consider the OLED model, especially if you play frequently in handheld mode. Always compare prices across different platforms and keep an eye out for sales!
