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.

Series S is an aggressively priced system that was said to have a lower profit margin (none at launch) that they would make up through it being purely digital & gamepass. I don't think you can compare the costs of the chips as one is vastly more modern then the other and optimised to operate at a fraction of the power consumption. Weaker doesn't mean cheaper.
