Can Nintendo turn Switch 2's pricing disaster around? And how?

Nintendo almost certainly employs pricing analysts who analyze historical sales data and who with the assistance of data scientists/analysts can project potential future sales expectations based on what-if scenarios. If the games aren't initially selling, and then there is a larger volume of purchases than expected given the initial low sales, after a price drop, then it tells them that the price was incorrectly set and pricing was the issue not interest in the title or its development. I wouldn't be surprised if they're choosing which games to set to $80 or $70 based on a similar model. 

But they haven't dropped a price on the Switch 1 or it's launch games, and they're at least 8 years old now.

Because they don't need to. The games are selling beyond their expectations (which is likely why they're doing the increase now.) We're talking about the scenario where the Switch 2 games aren't selling to their expectations.
