And this system was widely available over the holidays for $399.99 (for the 512GB version no less), discounted down, you have to figure the actual manufacturing cost is considerably below $400 since ASUS doesn't make money from games. |
I don't know about discounts, but ROG Ally was launched at msrp US$599 and US$699.
And these newer modern portable gaming devices are bigger and heavier than Switch.
Steam Deck for example weighs nearly twice that off an OLED Switch.
What can be done, and what Nintendo opts to do tends to vary a lot.
My hopes are that Nintendo make Switch 2 reasonably powerful. But I'm not confident that it'll turn out that way.
That said, I'm not caught up with how reliable all the rumors are. If Eurogamer for example verify something, I'd be inclined to trust them on it.
