Yup, I think so too. Maybe 449, but I'm leaning into 499 the more I think about it.
1) The Switch launch price was 299, same as PS4 slim. Analyst thought it would be to pricey compared to the more powerful PS4. Switch showed customers did not care enough and saw the added value of portability & Nintendo IP.
I think Nintendo will match the PS5 again. 449 or 499, depending if Nintendo looks at the digital or disc version. Switch2 is less powerful, but again has added portability & Nintendo IP.
2) Foxconn told their investors it's opening a new factory in Vietnam making 4 million Switch per year from 2026 onwards. This tells me Nintendo will keep Switch as entry level console. I'm expecting Famicom vs. Super Famicom situation, where the latter was considerable more expensive.
