I know next to nothing abt these specs. Just as long as NSW2 is comparable to PS4/PS4Pro, I will be more than happy. The leap btwn PS4 & PS5 is so marginal, we'd basically be looking at Nintendo finally catching up with the other two...which gives me a whole lotta excitement imagining the next 3D mainline Mario running at 4k 60fps, but also a whole lotta anxiety seeing how taxing game development at this level has been on Sony & Microsoft. (Not to mention: Nintendo struggled *very hard* with their jump to HD on Wii U.)

A 200 dollar jump on the price is very unrealistic. Nintendo would be shooting itself on the foot if this costs more than 400 dollars. I was actually hoping for a 349.99 price point, but I guess that might be unrealistic as well.

OLED costs $350USD. I don't believe this generational leap will only cost consumers $50 more. I see $450 at the absolute baseline (unless Nintendo is looking to sell a 'Digital Only' or 'Lite' model right at launch...which is doubtful imo).

That's a good point, however, the Switch has cost 299$ since 2017 when it released, which means there's definitely room for a better price point. It all depends on a lot of factors, but I just know Sony almost fucked up the PS3 because they thought they'd get a pass for pricing it as high as they wanted just because the PS2 was a massive success. I hope they have that in mind.
