Note that the UK retailer also claimed that the price on the listing is correct buy may still be subject to change. However, the listing reportedly did not include whether or not the listing price was for the Nintendo Switch base unit or a bundle.
It is speculated that the price that roughly converts to a little over $350 USD may be a top-tier bundle, WWG reported. Note that the UK online retailer GameSeek opened pre-orders back in November 2016 with a guaranteed listing price of £198.50 or around $250 USD.
