you honestly think the Switch will be priced to compete with the likes of handheld PCs like the Steam Deck??? Sounds like wishful thinking. Nintendo has sold the Switch at a profit since day one.

What price do you expect then? 

If you tell me $349, that's a pipe dream and means that anybody would expect a very modest improvement compared to the current switch then.

No I definitely agree with you that the price will be higher than the current Switch. But this generation has proven to Nintendo that they don’t need top of the line hardware to be immensely successful. That was something Satoru Iwata discovered when he first became president of Nintendo and that led to the Wii and that philosophy has continued to the Switch. I think $399 will be the sweet spot Nintendo will be aiming for. It will allow for somewhere around the range between a base PS4 and PS4 Pro, which even for a handheld would be pretty incredible.
