That might be the case globally but why would the price be divisive in Japan when it's priced lower in Japan than other regions?  That's the one country that wouldn't have concerns about hardware pricing. 

The price went up significantly compared to Switch 1 in the same region.  In fact it went up even more in Japan compared to the OLED model.  I pulled these prices from Amazon in Japan and US:

	price (yen)	Switch 2: console (ratio)	price (USD)	Switch 2: console (ratio)
Switch Lite	21600	2.3 : 1	199	2.3 : 1
Switch (Base)	22800	2.2 : 1	237	1.9 : 1
Switch OLED	30800	1.6 : 1	349	1.3 : 1
Switch 2	50000	1 : 1	450	1 : 1

At these prices I can see the base and Lite Switch 1 still having a meaningful role post-Switch 2, provided Nintendo doesn't decide to axe them quickly in order to push people to upgrade.

They don't seem to be saving much on the Lite compared to the base though, relative to the rest of the world?
