If Sony is selling PS5 for 550 USD they can still charge even 450 USD and still get away with being "expensive". When Switch was released PS4 was 350 USD. As long their games are there people will buy. People who buy at launch are mostly fans and gaming enthusiasts, anyways. They can price cut the hardware once the production costs decrease and they need to reach the mass market 

I will bet 400 USD, but I won't discharge a premium 450 USD version with better screen and storage 

The Slim was $299 and the Pro $399.

I think Switch 2 will launch between $399 and $429 for the base version 

 Very good reminder, the PS4 Slim was, in fact, the same price of the so called "inexpensive" Switch despite being several times more powerful and with a arguably much less expensive software library due to its age and the amount of third party software with older games having already their prices dropped already 

The narrative that Switch is an unexpensive system is just that, a narrative. In 2017 if you were short on budget PS4 was the least expensive option.
