If you're gonna do that you'd be better off just including a controller I think.

For the moment anyway, Switch 2 really isn't that expensive for a new gaming system in 2025, it's not far off what the base or OLED Switch would cost today in adjusted dollars.

2025 pricing isn't where it really 'should be' though. Everything's too expensive due to excessive inflation, tariffs, and stagnating wages. Gaming companies are also clearly getting greedier, to some degree.

By all means throw in the joycons and grip, but then be ready to basically toss that in for free. Don't be tacking another $50+ to the price. Not at a time like now.

There's a balance that needs to be struck; ideally products should be affordable, and at the same time companies need to be profitable, they're not charities and they need to pay their employees and continue to exist.

I don't envy any company trying to do business in this climate.
