Updating earlier reports on the Nintendo Switch 2's weaker 2025 holiday sales in Western markets compared to the original Switch, a senior Nintendo employee highlighted a 'complicated economic landscape,' higher prices, and lack of a major Western title as factors. New details reveal resilience in Japan thanks to a cheaper local version and strong holiday game sales, amid a promising 2026 lineup.
As 2025 draws to a close, retailers like Amazon and Fanatical are slashing prices on gaming accessories and software bundles. Key offers include docks for portable handhelds, special-edition controllers, VR game collections, monitors, and mini PCs, all aimed at enhancing holiday gaming setups. These discounts, published on December 22, provide significant savings on popular products from brands like UGREEN, Microsoft, Samsung, and GMKtec.
