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.

This.  People are forgetting about Nintendo's wide appeal.  I have a Switch and each of my kids have one, for a total of 3.  That isn't happening at Steam Deck prices and Nintendo knows it.  

Pretty much. Not only, they are obviously gonna be price mindful, to keep their current stronghold over Japan atm. They ain't gonna relinquish such a position by jeopardizing themselves with a prohibitive pricepoint. 

However, I'm not against the existence of a future 449-499$ Pro/OLED SKU.

2 SKU's I believe are two different color variations

Yeah, I really need to hear about their rumor sources to begin with but yes, I expect that we would go to the ol' Grey JoyCons - Blue/Red JoyCons SKU's at launch. Especially if both SKUs are the same price.

Edit : So the source seems to be about a random discord user on a GTA server that predicted PS5 Pro reveal date and the pricepoint ...

I mean it's not an impossible thing to do but no, this isn't really proof worthy enough when everyone has been going on the prediction thing those last few weeks.
