I wanna know your guys' opinion on this cause I'm not the most knowlegeable when it comes to measuring price to performance especially when comparing a home console to a hybird handheld. Do you guys its possible for a conventional Switch successor to have performance close to Series S level at 400$? Cause it seems like a lot of the rumors are pointing towards that direction which seems pretty ambitous for me to believe considering how Switch is a handheld and Nintendo never really cared much about specs in the past.
Right now it seems like the Xbox Series S goes for around 300$ but Microsoft seems to be taking anywhere between a 100-200$ loss on every Series S sold as of 2022, which is a substansal amount and I definitely can't see Nintendo taking a loss anywhre near as big since the past few years they've always prioritized making a profit on each system sold. I think last time Nintendo took a loss with a system at launch was the Gamecube 23 years ago. The Switch was sold at a profit all its life and was still extremely successful so I heavily doubt Nintendo sees any point in taking a loss with Switch 2 just for the sake of better price to performance ratio when the Switch didnt need that to be successful.
If Switch 2 is sold At 400$, let's say it costs 350$ to produce the Switch 2. Compared to the Series S which costs maybe around 425$ to produce, Series S nearly has 100$ more tech in it which could be a bigger difference in terms of specs between the two consoles especially when you consider the Switch is a hybrid console too so extra money needs to go towards the screen, battery, speakers, and dock.
With this in mind, is it feasible for Switch 2 at 400$ to be close to Series S in performance?
