Price cuts for consoles are going to become more and more rare. The math for it has been done and I'm pretty sure all three of the companies realized the temporary sales boost is not worth the lost profit margin.
It's not 1993 anymore, the majority of consumers even Nintendo's consumer are adults with their own disposable income so pricing isn't as big of a deal. In fact we see when given the option to pay more for a better quality hardware, most people opt for the better hardware rather than save money on the system.
Nintendo's concession for the lower end rung of the market is the Switch Lite, if you're a kid and can't afford any more than that, then that's what you get. The Switch successor will almost definitely start at $399.99 minimum.
