Why not? (AUD will be higher of course.)

You are essentially ditching the display, battery, joycons and dock, that substantially lowers your BoM, should end up cheaper than a Switch Lite.

Because Switch is selling well and Nintendo would be leaving a lot of money on the table by going so low on the hardware price when they absolutely don't need to.

So basically greed is your answear?

Nintendo already sells and makes decent profits on hardware.
A 149$ Switch TV, would also be sold at simular profits amounts.

Why would nintendo sudenly become more greedy, and sell it higher?
Because it can? it wasnt happy with current profits? This could move alot of units I think, which would equal more software sales, ect.
