Easy: release two SKUs since day 1, one of them equivalent to the switch lite.

Supposing switch 2 standard SKU would have DLSS tensor cores, SSD, dock, joy-con like detachable controllers (with communication modules, sensors, etc) at 400$.
They could ditch the tensor cores if was reasonable to decrease costs, slash the ssd size, wont have a dock, cables. Make a single board with controlelrs included.
Seems reasonable it can be sold for around 250 to 300$.

Also, PS5 is selling well at 500$, switch oled is doing well at 350$.

I think two SKUs on day 1 makes a lot of sense. I don't think it'll be a Lite, but could definitely see a lower end hybrid and a higher end hybrid. Do a less disk space, and smaller LCD screen on lower end. Do like 512gb disk space and larger OLED screen on high end. Price them at like $330 and $380. They are gonna want to launch under $350 for sure I think to avoid being seen as overpriced, so I think the options are either do two hybrid SKUs or only do a cheaper one, and given that its next gen I think they definitely need an option at launch that is at least as nice as OLED in terms of display and I doubt a next gen equal to Switch OLED display is gonna come in at the same price as Switch OLED, no matter how much bank they are currently making on every OLED Switch sold.

Later on do a Lite and some sort of extra premium model at $250 and $400, dropping the originals slightly to $300 and $350 by then.
