The leak is from Famiboards who have the best discussion on the tech of Switch 2, their users found shipment data of actual Switch 2 hardware which basically confirms Tegra T239, 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, but also the new dock has a fan inside of it, it's publicly available data but you would have to know what you are looking for and understand what the different product codes mean.

Looking at that, even regardless of what the Tegra GPU is clocked it (it's irrelevant because it costs the same either way, 1536 CUDA cores is 1536 CUDA cores no matter what, you don't pay for 1/4 of an apple if you take two bites and eat no more, you pay for the whole apple, the grocery store doesn't care if you eat all of it or not), the screen size, the RAM, the internal storage ...

I don't see $399.99 at all. This is $449.99 most likely. As I've said there are $1000 premium phone and tablets with LPDDR5X RAM and that much storage, I doubt Nintendo is going to gift that away for only $50 more than a Switch OLED. The iPad Pro OLED just released like yesterday and that has only 8GB LPDDR5X RAM and that's $1000+. 

I gotta admit, I do fear for the price tag but I also think Nintendo might be willing to take a slight lost to hit the 399.99. Maybe with a game sold which I think the prices are going up across the board to 69.99 helps the console break even with a game sold. I also think the iPad comparisons aren't fully one to one because Apple has great profit margins on top of likely a much more expensive screen, cameras, and battery. If the price is 449.99, then I see a game bundled like Nintendoland or Wii Sports that shows off the new controller features along with a very robust launch line up including a massive 3D Mario game and 3rd party titles in holiday 2025. Dont see Nintendo launching a 450 console in March, so holiday 2025 with 3D Mario, Mario Kart X in Spring 2026 with the Mario movie 2 hype and Pokemon Gen X in holiday 2026. Switch 2 with that price needs everything it can get.
