Nintendo's Switch 2 isn't competing with PC gaming and the Steam Deck, at least not directly, and trying to pit these two handhelds against each other in a straight fight is pointless.

Nintendo sadly hasn't revealed a price for the Switch 2 yet, but there's a strong chance it'll cost under $400. While you'll want to avoid making any final spending plans until that MSRP is finally revealed, having a look at pricing history and trends from past generations can help provide a ballpark figure.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been revealed, although the information is still thin. But there's one thing we do know: It looks like a larger version of the existing Switch. You might find it underwhelming.

Nintendo at last unveiled its successor to the popular Switch console on Thursday, a major moment for the video game industry that will arrive sometime this year. The release of a new console will be a key milestone in Nintendo’s history after the company released the Switch in 2017 to fanfare and acclaim.
