With price cut I meant Swith Lite $99 and regular model $199. OLED model $249 someday. GameCube and Wii Mini also got a $99 price tag.

I'm aware that Nintendo cut the price for the regular model in Europe from 349 to 299 EUR. That's a small price cut

Those prices are unlikely to happen, the days of $99 handhelds and $199 consoles are over outside of temporary deals or end of life stock clearing.

I agree. 99$/€ will never be close to profitable. If you take the sellers share, shipping and distribution as well as the large amount of components needed for the lite, 99$ will only ever happen if the thing is on clearance. You can reduce cost only to a certain point. Hardware does simply not move fast enough these days.

In addition you need to take inflation into consideration. 100€ in 2000 are 134€ today.
