Are you saying if Switch 2 was 399.99, it would have helped it get close to Switch 1? I mean I'm not fully out on Switch 2 getting close to Switch 1, I just struggle to see what will Nintendo release to counterpunch Animal Crossing and Covid. Animal Crossing and a Pro w/ an Oled screen will give a big boost but then again Switch 1 got an Oled model that boosted sales. PS4 to PS5 isn't quite a perfect comparison because PS4 sold far less making it far easier to repeat for PS5. We aren't asking PS5 to match PS2 which is equivalent to Switch 1.

As I said, it's too early to call that and do a prediction for a system which isn't out yet. But yes if Nintendo plays it's card right, with 399$ price it would be way closer to Switch 1, then it will be with 449$ cuz I think that 399$ is not just 50$ difference but a mental limit for many too. I don't know if they will do price cuts too. This will play a big role in the long term performance. What games it will have is still unknown but in the example of going after the Switch 1 sales performance of course it will need the best ones that can possibly come out for the system. OLED and Lite models are almost sure in the future. I am comparing PS5 to PS4 because the successor (PS5) is neck in neck in sales with the PS4 to this moment. I am not including the pure sales numbers at all here, just the neck in neck case. The same I can see with 399$ Switch 2 and of course, the proper marketing, software and everything needed to get the Switch 2 selling the best it can and to be neck in neck with the Switch 1 launch aligned. At 449$ I think it will trail behind. At 299$ it could even start outselling it from the start.
