How would you plan Switch 2's launch year to be the most successful?

If the hardware is powerful enough you can chare good money! If a PS/ Xbox can be expensive, a Nintendo system also can! Price is not everything: The PSP soon was cheaper than the DS (especially Street PSP), the Vita soon dropped to the same price as the 3DS. Die any Sonyhandheld outsold its direct competitior? No? Price has nothing to do with sucess, otherwise the PSP woudld be ~150 million wich would have really made it "the walkman of the 21 century". But we know how it ended...

It would still sell well at $450-500, just less because some people simply don't have that kind of money to spend on a relative luxury like a console. Nintendo has always made sure their consoles are affordable.

If you look at the Switch back in 2017 it was very expensive. 330€ for the Handheld itself. 90€ for a pair of Joy Cons, 70€ for a Pro controller, 25€ for an original protection case... compared to that, an Xbox SS seems like a steal. Add in the fact you can get a new PS5 (no disc) for ~400€ the Switch was/ is less afordable than you think. I am sure including accesoirs and games i spent ~10.000€ for the Switch all together in te last 8 years! For the PS5 i own less than 40 games and we are in it's 5th year past its peak. Xbox SeX even less.
