This guy STILL has a platform to speak?

Michael Pachturd, aside, I think it should be the other way around. Throughout this whole pandemic, it has been the Hybrid model that is constantly selling out and nowhere to be found in stores while the Lite model has stock aplenty. So, shouldn't it be the other way around?
First, Nintendo should get their supply-demand under control.
Then, they should release the Switch+ (Pro model).
Then, they should cut the price of the Hybrid model down to $200, they've been at $300 for so long that they could probably do it and still sell it at a profit at least, sell it at a small loss, and the get those losses back on the Pro model, software sales, and NSO subscriptions.
And then they can cut the Lite model to $125-150 and then just slowly phase it out.
It's quite evident that the vast majority of the market prefers the Hybrid model anyways, and if they were willing to buy it at $300, then they'll most definitely be willing to buy it at $200 - the standard handheld price, which means they could easily sell it to every member of the household instead of just one per household. Which maintains sales at a high level, extending the Switch's legs. Then they could sell sell the 'Pro' model at $300-$350 as the new, main Hybrid option that will be bought mostly by the hardware enthusiasts, Nintendo fans, and current Switch owners who are looking to upgrade.
