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

Lowering/adjusting software pricing is no huge deal, you can do that any time if you want.

The hardware pricing ... people just need to accept times have changed and Nintendo serves a more premium, older market base these days. $450 is about correct for a Switch 2, that's not some massive overprice, it's not some junk hardware with bottom of the barrel components, it's decent enough hardware and asking a fair price for it is reasonable.

I get that times have changed, but in Canada it costs even more. And what about younger gamers who will wanna play Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World? They're being left out. -_-

Really young children aren't Nintendo's core demographic anymore and haven't been a for a while. Just is what it is. 

For entry level gaming children, you can pick up the $300 Switch or even cheaper Switch Lite and they can enjoy Mario Kart 8 and DKC: Tropical Freeze there until a cheaper Switch 2 Lite (or whatever is the cheaper model) eventually comes out. 

Either that or their parents just have to decide maybe a Switch 2 is "expensive", but it's also likely to be used to 5+ years whereas a lot of other toys and things like that won't be and it's a lot cheaper than say a trip to Disneyland or something else a parent promised and has grown way too expensive to make work.
