I don't think it's going to be inflation as a big factor to why Switch 2 will be as expensive as Switch OLED or higher. It would be more the fact that Nintendo handhelds have a wonkier price history than their home consoles. And Switch is a hybrid, so it's a handheld as well (and will surely get a handheld-only option).

Launch prices USD unadjusted for inflation
Game Boy: $89.99
Game Boy Color: $69.99
Game Boy Advance: $99.99
DS: $149.99
DSi: $169.99
3DS: $249.99 (slashed to $169.99 before its first holiday season)
New 3DS XL: $199.99
Switch Lite: $199.99

Switch 2 will probably be $349.99-$399.99 and Switch 2 Lite will probably be $249.99-$299.99.
