There isn't any disaster besides a very cheap drama. The $450 isn't the 399 sweetspot of switch adjusted to inflation but the system is bringing comparatively more than the switch. Bigger screen that is 120hz, 12GB of ram would be equivalent to 6GB for the switch, 256GB of storage would be equivalent to 64GB on the switch. The gpu and cpu are also proportionately more powerful than the switch's. It is worth the price.
Now, as for the game prices , it is somewhat scummy but I'd argue it's very hypocritocal for haters to complain about those prices when that's not even 10% as scummy as what sony and ms enable 3rd parties to do with their games filled with microtansactions, season passes and cut content to be sold later as dlc.
At the very least nintendo releases games that are complete and worth their price. I do wish that they started a nintendo selects for switch titles and included the dlc in the switch 2 enhanced versions, though.
