The days of systems getting their price reduced down to the $200 range seems to be largely over outside of holiday discounts or budget models.

I wouldn't be surprised if we never see the base Switch or PS5 drop below $300 either.

Agreed, I could see OLED eventually replacing the original model and taking the $299 spot while Lite remains at $199. Have some value added bundles here and there and call it a day.

Yeah that sounds about right. Throw in a $300 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle on Black Fridays and ride the original price point til the end.

I can see PS5 getting some Black Friday deals below $300, but not being permanently dropped below that threshold.
