Common sense and being reasonable isn't solely the realm of charity. You don't take more when there's less to go around, if you can afford to, and most of the time, less now isn't a problem.

Goodwill also goes a long way being handled correctly in the right situations. PSN on PS3 for free comes to mind, along with not including a camera with PS4, then only charging $399. Also XB GP pricing, initially anyway, that kept them from falling even further. Neither of those companies are charities by any means, especially SNY throughout this gen.

Nin's free to operate as they wish, but right now would be the time to keep the hardware prices lower if at all possible.

$450 for Switch 2 is hardly unreasonable or excessive. The hardware's not cheap and as you say, everything costs more now and that includes parts, manufacturing, shipping, etc.

I'm not arguing that the SW2 SKU they've revealed is too expensive. It's borderline. I'm saying it would be beneficial to have another dedicated home console SKU for considerably cheaper.

Unless of course Nin is hoping some of those consumers will just get a SW1 instead, or that those who may have to wait for years to save up, will just have to wait. If I were Nin, I'd want to make sure SW2 takes off like SW1 and has every reason to keep up that momentum, with as little controversy as possible, like an earlier than expected price cut for example, but that's just me.
