Nintendo Price Hikes: Nintendo is increasing prices for the original Switch, Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and select accessories in the US starting August 3rd, citing "market conditions" likely related to new tariffs. Switch 2 consoles will not see a price hike yet, but some Switch 2 accessories and Amiibo will.
Switch 2 Sales Update: The Nintendo Switch 2 has sold 5.82 million units worldwide since its June 5th launch, with Mario Kart World selling 5.63 million copies in the same period.

Battlefield 6 Details: EA's Vince Zampella calls Battlefield 6 a "spiritual successor" to Battlefield 3 and 4, emphasizing large-scale maps and a "grounded" aesthetic for player skins, unlike Call of Duty's licensed crossovers.
