The Switch 2 is being framed as a solid holiday buy at BJ's, with free shipping on the $429.99 member price and a reported path to even lower effective cost through price matching or discounted gift cards. The deal stands out because a September price hike is expected, and the console is being treated as better value than other handhelds right now. The main knocks are the high base price, expensive games, and frustration with Nintendo's key cards and digital rights approach. Overall, it reads as a timely way to lock in the console before costs climb further.

  • Discount stacking reportedly lowered the effective cost by using discounted Nintendo gift cards or eShop cards before buying through Nintendo.

  • The "InClub only" listing still allowed ordering for shipment, with only in-store pickup potentially restricted.

  • A Best Buy price match plus switching pickup to a local store reportedly produced an easy $70 savings before a September price increase.

  • BJ's member pricing reportedly included free shipping and a limit of one per member.

  • Some deal strategies rely on discounted gift cards or eShop balances, which may not be straightforward for every buyer to execute.

  • Nintendo's "key cards" were criticized as an anti-consumer practice, and the deal was still rejected despite the price drop.

  • Concerns were raised that Nintendo could add internet-required DRM for non-physical games, potentially affecting Switch 2 titles.

  • Switch 2 pricing may not drop soon, and it could rise again after price increases.

The Switch 2 is one of the (if not THE) fastest selling console of all time. The price is also going up in a month or so.
And Nintendo expects sales figures for the switch 2 to decline in its second year, the FIRST time for a Nintendo console, so ya know, hype can help launch a machine but it won't continue to carry it. The price going up is irrelevant, except to drive sales figures down further. It's not an implication of success but rather ram costs.

A couple other notes to consider from various outlets:

After an explosive start, Nintendo Switch 2 sales are not quite hitting the heights they were at launch, at least in the West. Over November and December in the US, Switch 2 sales were about 30% down compared to how Switch 1 sold during its first Christmas on the market (TGB sources). That has continued into 2026. For the first two months of the year, Switch 2 sales are roughly 20% lower than what Switch 1 managed during January and February 2018. At this pace, Switch 2 will eventually fall behind the Switch 1.

Nintendo will produce fewer Switch 2 units than it previously projected in response to weakening demand for the console in the US, Bloomberg reports. Four million units of Nintendo's flagship device are expected to be made this quarter instead of the six million it had originally planned, according to unnamed sources cited by the publication, with the reduced output set to continue in April.

At the end of the day, context matters. An isolated fact ("Switch 2 is one of the (if not THE) fastest selling console of all time") sounds great until you consider the larger picture. Time of course will tell but something for you to think about.

The weird misplaced hate for Nintendo is fascinating. Do you have the same hate for Steam? Monopolized the entire PC market, but since 12 year old games can be had for $5 to sit in a backlog...
I've owned every Nintendo console since the NES. I was there when the magic was written. My perspective on Nintendo's current practices are informed by a long history of being a Nintendo consumer. It's not "weird" or "misplaced". I wouldn't even call it "hate" but rather disappointment. Years of consumer trust and loyalty down the drain.

Steam and Nintendo are two different beasts so comparing them is hard even if they both offer the same form factor device. A steam conversation may be worthy of discussion but the focus of this post is Nintendo.

Not sure if allowed but I waited for the C1S email to give me 150 back (in gift card form to a store I was already planning on spending at) at Staples through the C1S app... about a month ago. This made the Switch 2 ~$330 with tax after the rebate.

My guess is C1S are still doing 50 back pretty consistently and 100 back every couple weeks.

Definitely don't recommend adding their extension though to any browser. Huge invasion of privacy.

It's still $130 more than it should be. Hard pass.
It's not going to go down in price soon, if ever, once they raise the price. It's not outside of the possibility that they might raise it the second time like the PS5. I didn't want to buy it but now that call of duty is going to be released on it I'm all in.

Good find, you can also buy eShop cards from Costco (sometimes $160 for $200 worth, currently $180 for $200 worth), stack them, then buy through Nintendo using eShop balances. They stack up to $800 worth.
