Lol, no people, Nintendo is not going for a Two SKU strategy between an all-digital Switch and one with the cartridge slot included.

Anywoo, I genuinely think their objective is to achieve the 400$ mark.
People have gotten their predictions warped because of Sony's showcase yesterday, but there's no way Nintendo will dramatically go from a 300$ hybrid console to a 500$ in the space of a generation.

This would be too prohibitive from most casual consummers that are important to the overall Switch userbase.

Why not? I don't think them doing that is guaranteed but I don't see much reason for them not to. For the price part that big of a jump would certainly be pushing it but I could see it being $449. The price in Japan is probably gonna have a big increase though.

The prices in Japan haven't moved in any significant way since the initial MRSP was announced. The inflation of last years and Yen depreciation to USD hasn't changed that. No reason to believe they would suddenly partake in the same strategy as Sony and Microsoft, albeit I do think at a slighter difference in price, but they are not gonna forsake one of their top market to get an equivalent exchange rate in this economy.
