Lower sales than the base model. Since the Lite came out, full Switch has outsold it, by a lot, despite costing more.

The sales ratios clearly show that the difference is not "negligible" to the consumer as they've demonstrated that most of them think the full Switch experience is worth paying an extra $100.

Therefore, if the full Switch is worth $100 more to most people, then a full Switch at $200 would offer greatly more value than a $200 Lite and therefore sell much more.

This only shows that 300$ isn't expensive as well and that most people can afford the budget to get the better system.

It's not neccessary the cheaper system to have more sold units because it's cheaper. It's worse than the original switch and most people can afford to buy the better system (the regular one) and they do it. When you have cheaper model it's not mandatory that everyone have to buy the cheaper one, or that most of the people have to buy the cheaper one. It's cheaper because it's for given budget. Most people have 300$ to spend on the better system.

People don't just spend an extra $100 if they don't have to though. It's still a significant bit of money for most folks.

The primary selling point of the Switch is its hybrid functionality. Consumers have shown they'll pay more for that. And that, the full Switch experience, is still the same price now as it was at launch.
