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

They had a virtual monopoly when the 3DS launched too but look what happened when they launched that at 250$. An emergency 70$ cut was needed to save it. 

It's most likely that the Switch 2 will need an emergency price cut, even though it will likely be a loss for Nintendo in hardware, but Nintendo can make up for it through software sales. And I can see Mario Kart World being a big seller.

Doug bowser said that the 450$ price didn't include tariff anticipation. So, with tariffs I think Switch 2 is going to be at least 500$. So, I don't think they can cut the price unless they make a version that is like the PS Vita TV where it's just the chipset with no internal memory. Even with heavy tariffs, the removal of the screen and memory could be enough to hit the 399$ price tag.
