An absolute killing, right? The real answer may surprise you. The factory cost of the Switch 2 alone is around $338 per unit: When adding all other necessary expenditures (shipping, logistics, packaging, retailer margin), their total outlay is likely in the $450–$500 range, which means they’re launching at break‑even or a slim loss, with hopes to recoup profit over time (as is custom in the space) through software, accessories, and subscription services. Knowledge is power.

Who Are We?
“Nitchi” [pronunciation: neet-she] in Japanese ニッチ – or “niche” in English. Welcome to Nitchigamer!
Our blog values what we like to call the ‘other games’, the alternative to the mainstream. In our case, we focus on Nintendo games, Indie games and VR games.
What do all of those have in common? Well, they all do something a little bit different than the rest:
Nintendo, for better or worse, marches to the beat of their own drum. They usually create offbeat, highly original games in a family-friendly tone.
Indie games are often experimental, obscure and hugely creative. Some of the freshest experiences these days come from these talented people. (In our opinion, of course!)
VR is at the start of its journey, but already we’re seeing incredible and unique games that have to be experienced. Tetris Effect anyone?
An exciting group, that’s for sure. If you feel the same way, then you’re probably in the right place.
Lastly, we aim to bring a more balanced approach to the ongoing world of video games and the many exciting stories that they tell.
Enjoy reading Nitchigamer! Yes you, the one reading this sentence right about now.
