I guess the proof would be in the pudding, but can you seriously see a souped up 'Switch 2 Home' costing a fraction of the base console not selling at least 20+ million units? What was that stat that was knocking around a while back about the number of Switch owners playing exclusively docked? Was it not around a third?

$450 will give a lot of people pause. $100 / $150 / $200 is much more in the 'why the hell not' territory.

I doubt that they would sell it for $100 - $200.

$299 - $349 would be much more realistic. Display + battery + docking station won't save them THAT much in production costs.

They would still have to add a controller to the home package, either the Joy-Con-2 controller + chargeable grip or a Switch-2- pro controller.

Just to circle back to this, a Series S retails for $299.99, you don't think a S2 Home could come in lower than this? Surely the CPU/GPU/PSU would all cost more in the Series S?

This is before considering the scale of economy advantage that Switch 2 will have over Series S. Nintendo will be buying it's component in vastly larger quantities than MS is with Series S & can negotiate better prices accordingly.
