@PAOerfulone Honestly, I don't think we should expect the Switch 2 to be $400 at launch, even if it is less powerful than PS5 & XSX, considering it operates as a handheld as well. I would think that $450 for a digital only version and $500 for a physical/digital model would make sense so that they can maximize profit, assuming the launch lineup is ready. Same price as PS5 even if it is less powerful, but the Switch was the same price as the PS4 & XONE in 2017, despite being less powerful. If Nintendo permanently slashed the price of the Switch going into last holiday, I'd be inclined to say $400-$450, but it appears they are keeping the current pricing, so I could see these offerings:
Switch Lite: $200
Switch V2: $300
Switch OLED: $350
Switch 2 Digital: $450
Switch 2 Physical/Digital: $500
I feel like the lowest Switch 2 model should be at least $100 more expensive than the Switch OLED in order to justify both of their existences. The Switch 2 models would use LCD screens by the way, but considering how the screen and controllers will almost certainly be bigger and the hardware will be more powerful (likely 4K docked), it would justify the $100 increase over the OLED. Helps that most Switch owners seem to just have the original with the 6.2 inch screen. I do see Lite and OLED models coming later down the road for Switch 2 of course.
