Switch 2 will be max $350, in my opinion. I think people are already overestimating the power and chips set Nintendo will opt for.

Almost certain it'll be the Orin NX, though (a die of unsure dimensions but it looks to be at least 300 mm2). Even if shrinking it to TSMC's 5N makes it around the size of the Tegra X1 on the OG Switch, it'll still be much more expensive to manufacture.

Of course, Nintendo might opt to sell it for reduced profits or even an initial loss and make it back in software, which I think they will. Their cash cow is obviously software, after all.

I don't doubt the Switch 2 chipset will be more expensive than the current switch, but I would argue the current switch is no where near $300 of materials..   it just keeps selling hence no price cuts.  I would be stunned if Nintendo went over $300 on the Switch 2.  High end gaming isn't their market.
