My predictions are that the system will cost 399$ and will launch no later than June 2025.

Nintendo needs a $399.99 price tag unless Switch 2 comes with a lot more included storage than we're expecting (say 256 GB or above).

Switch 2 will succeed at a $449.99 price tag, but it's a much harder sell. And $499.99? I don't think we're looking at the struggles of the early PS3 years, but it nevertheless would harm Switch 2 immensely. 

Unless Nintendo drops the ball with price or software, the first full year of Switch 2 (from when it launches to a year later) is looking to be one of the best first years of hardware units in history. 

I agree $399 would help it fly off the shelves, but I'm not convinced Nintendo would price it that low. I'm hoping for a $399 basic model and a $449 OLED/deluxe.
