Don't see the issue with pricing really. Make it cheaper in Japan. No need to region lock it. A lot of people aren't going to be aware of the price in Japan anyway, importing will drive up the cost, and worst case scenario they buy up the Japan inventory and people in the US have to buy it here anyway. They can throw in a pack in title also to help compensate for the price difference. For a company that is doing most of its business overseas, weak currency is generally a benefit to the point where China is frequently accused of undervaluing its own currency.

Maybe you could do like 2 minutes of research on the chip (Tegra T239), there's quite a bit known about it actually. The Pro is the OLED, the "leaks" were accurate in saying it would have an OLED display and they did get the exact screen size correct (if they guessed that by random happenstance then I guess they should go play the lottery too with that kind of luck), they just got confused with Switch 2 as well and assumed it was one product which is not an unreasonable mistake to make. Saying "all leaks are false forever and ever because of that" is just dumb in my view. You also do understand that just because you "downclock" a chip doesn't mean you get it for a cheaper price, right? Like if the Tegra T239 is a 3 TFLOP chip and Nintendo decides to cripple it "because Nintendo!" to 1 TFLOP, they're still paying for the 3 TFLOP chip, that's not Nvidia's problem. |
The OLED screen size I think would be pretty easy to guess. The Joycons had to fit on the Switch "Pro", so you could assume the size would be similar, so the screen would just be expanded by the size of the bezel.
It's probably best to treat all leaks are false until proven correct. Unless you have fun with the speculation, then by all means.
