Over the weekend a post on Famiboards with images supposedly showing placeholder listings on Costco Canada’s internal system has a Switch model listed for $499.99 CAD.
The post from ProteusRidley (Note: content hidden for non-registered Famiboards users) includes two images supposedly showing the backend product listing and a printed point-of-sale sign misspelt as ”NINTENDO SWITCH PALCE HOLDER”. (Thanks, Notebookcheck.)
The poster doesn’t claim that this is definitely Switch 2-related, ”but it may be. The price could also be a placeholder as well.” They also say that in ”five years of working here, I have never seen a place holder for anything.”
499 Canadian dollars converts to around 350 USD / 280 GBP at the time of writing, which would be on the lower end of analyst pricing predictions for Nintendo’s upcoming hardware.
