Here’s the first look at Nintendo Switch’s OLED model ‘in the wild’
Nintendo officially cut the price of the standard Nintendo Switch console in Europe earlier this month.
The new price adopted by retailers is €269.99 (down from €329.99) in Europe and £259.99 (down from £279.99) in the UK. However, since Nintendo does not set an official RRP in Europe, these prices could yet fall further.
In comparison, the Nintendo Switch Lite currently retails for around £199.99 / €200 and the upcoming OLED model will retail for around £309.99/ €349.99.
However, Nintendo of America has said it has “no plans” to cut the price of the Switch in that region.
