If switch sells at $299 they won't drop its price. A $399 Switch Pro is a luxury for existing owners or those looking to have the best experience for core games. 

But the thing about exclusives games is just reminding me why I thought a Switch 2 in 2022 would be better then a mid-gen update. This is really sounding like DSi type situation where they're putting consumers onto a short lived platform (2 years) instead of waiting a bit longer  to put them onto the next generation platform. Unless this is a bigger leap than we're expecting at its essentially the entry level Switch 2.

No, this is a lot more in line with what they said about giving Switch a longer lifecycle before replacement than previous consoles, so it's what would take them to 2025 before a Switch 2.

On topic: It really sucks that Bloomberg demands a subscription to read their articles now.

I mean, if people are blocking ads how else can they get money from the traffic? When those "disable your ad blocker" popups happen, I assume that data gets sent somewhere where companies can see how many people viewed the page with the blocker on vs. not, which then makes those companies want to pay less for ads on the website, making them have to go to a subscription model. If they didn't have that, and their revenue went down, they would produce less content, have less investigative journalism making fun discoveries to us, probably pay all their employees less then they make now, potentially a great deal less, and lay off a % of their workforce while overworking the rest.
