Nintendo Switch 2 Is Selling for a Mind-blowing Price on the Black Market

The Nintendo Switch 2 has already appeared on the black market, despite a release date not yet being announced. A leaker based in China claims to be offering a functional unit of the console for $40,000. This has both attracted the attention of accessory makers and sparked a huge debate among gamers.

The leak in question was shared on the Chinese Xiaohongshu platform. The leaker stated that the console comes with the Switch 2’s dock, joystick, and tablet components. He also claimed that the Pro controllers could be on sale within a week. This information coincides with another leak confirming that the console is compatible with CAD files.

The biggest motivation for purchasing such a device from the black market is that accessory manufacturers can test their products before the console’s release. Companies that produce products such as cases, controllers or docks in particular may consider such an opportunity to fully adapt to the physical features of the device. However, it is clear that such a purchase can create serious problems both legally and ethically.

Nintendo has not yet made an official statement about the Switch 2’s release date. However, such leaks increase expectations for the console’s release. Although no official game or operating system has yet been detailed, it is also among the claims that the device can be used for purposes such as hacking or emulation with early access.

It is not known how Nintendo will respond to these leaks and black market sales. However, this situation has attracted the attention of both the company and the gaming community before the console’s release. Until official statements are made, it is useful to approach such leaks with caution.
