It is interesting to note that Valve said they were surprised that the most expensive variant of the Steam Deck is the one that's selling best. They expected that the cheapest variant would sell best. I expected the same (not sure if in the meantime it's still the most expensive variant that's selling best). In any case, it shows that we live in an age where people like premium products and they are willing to pay high prices for them. Sure, Steam Deck is a handheld/hybrid PC, so the PC-folks were always conditioned to pay a lot for their hobby. But as the average age of Nintendo players raised significantly in this generation I think there are a lot of people who would buy a Switch Pro for a premium price, many of them double-dippers who already own a Switch.
