Switch 2 Console Price Drops in Europe

UPDATE Dec 1st: Prices have dropped further for the MKW bundle. The console is being sold for 399€, with an extra 10% cash in coupon and a free extra game. For the extra game, many SW1 titles are available as is Cyberpunk or Pokemon Z-A SW2 version.

In a bit of welcome news, it seems the highly sought after Nintendo Switch 2 has seen a price drop of 10€ for the Mario Kart World bundle, with a further 70€ with coupon on a select store (worten.pt). That brings the price of the bundle down to 430€.

This is from a reputable retailer that has had VAT off promotion last week (23% off), which would be slightly cheaper still at 413€ given RRP of 509.

This is not the first time Nintendo has cut game and system prices in the Iberian countries, where purchasing power and demand seems to be somewhat lower than elsewhere in the EU. This is also not surprising considering that the PS5 has outsold the Switch 2 in the EU, almost by double in Sept and for an even bigger margin in the first week of October. (data by VGChartz)

The base pack is also available with a 75€ coupon on AliExpress. This is from a well rated Spanish seller, though the usual Ali Express may apply. This is a store that has been on the platform for one year and I have not made high value purchases from the site, so I don't know how it would be handled if there is some problem with the item.

With the warnings out of the way, this brings the price of the base console to 395€.

While the purpose of this blog isn't gaming per se, I thought it would be interesting to share this information about hardware prices, given price increases that have occurred this year (especially on game consoles)
