Two thoughts:

1) Free market, consumer's dictate price. The Switch isn't just outselling the competition, it is decimating the competition.  Clearly the Switch doesn't have a price issue, unless people don't believe in supply/demand

2) I'm not disappointed in this upgrade, because I was smart enough not to believe the "Pro 4k 120 fps 100 battery life" BS in the first place. Nintendo hasn't been pushing power from a hardware perspective for over 20 years. I don't get why people think Nintendo is suddenly be a company they clearly are not.

It has one, which is visible throughout Europe. Here the Switch is sold mostly at ~330€, and in several European countries (especially Germany), this is already considered too much. It seems to me like 299 was really the sweet spot between profitability and sales potential, but 349 and up could be too much.

I might be wrong with my analysis though. So if Nintendo keeps the old model in production, we should get a better view on the ratio between LCD, OLED and Lite models. If the LCD model sells about as well than the OLED or even better, it might very well indicate that the pricetag is considered too high for the small gains and people opting for the LCD model instead. If that happens, I could see Nintendo stopping production of the old model and reducing the price on the new one down to 299 as they can then see themselves that it was too high.

Switch, in Europe, is a top 10 all time best selling console.  Doesn't seem like a big issue to me.
