Regardless of whether you liked it or if it met your expectations, the success of this new version of Nintendo’s successful hybrid console could have major repercussions in the industry, so it seems other companies will be watching their commercial performance closely.

It should be remembered that the Nintendo Switch OLED will cost $349.99 at launch, which is $50 more than the original model of the hybrid console. Of course, the above breaks the tradition of selling console versions at a lower price to attract the attention of consumers.
Likewise, we should remember that, according to a report from the portal BloombergProduction costs for the Nintendo Switch OLED are estimated at more than $10 compared to the base model, so a $50 increase could mean up to $40 in total revenue for each console sold.
