Is there a source for this? Of course not

The fact that Nintendo Japan is already selling a dockless Switch for $50 usd less than the original bundle already proves you wrong. Of course any notion that Nintendo can veer from the original Switch bundles to push more units will be lost on you lol  

They are selling it 50$ less because there is no ac adapter, no hdmi, Joy-Con grip and no dock. plus sales are pretty slow in japan, and they charge 30$ for the ac adapter which is a must, and costs like 2$ to mass produce. you can get a decent  dock not made by nintendo for 30$, so if a company thats not mass producing them can make them for about 15$ what do you think it cost nintendo?

With this you're assuming Nintendo is cutting into their own margins? $15 to produce the dock (up from your original assertion of $10 a few posts ago), $2 to produce the adapter, and what another couple bucks for the HDMI cable? Something is amiss in your estimations if Nintendo is taking off $50 for the missing items. We all know Nintendo doesn't cut into their own margins, they wouldn't even do it with Wii U.
