I think, given the existence of the Switch Lite and revised regular Switch at $200 and $300 respectively, a Switch Pro really only makes sense at $400. Any cheaper, and what kind of upgrade could it possibly even offer? I would think the whole point of a Switch Pro would be a more powerful Tegra chip, more RAM, and maybe a 1080p screen and more internal memory. You aren’t gonna get that for any cheaper than $400, especially if this is a Pro model and not just a successor coming out years from now.
This would also be in line with the typical pricing of the “Pro” models for PS4 and Xbox One, the latter of which is actually $200 more then the cheaper model.
And hey, given the Switch’s unique design, Nintendo could conceivably sell a tablet-only model for purely upgrading purposes at $200 (or maybe $250, depending on how much money such a model would save Nintendo), saving consumers who don’t want to buy another, another AC adapter, another set of joycons, etc a decent chunk of cash. Hell, places like GameStop could even have a trade-in program available, where you trade in your old tablet for additional money off.
