Absolutely. I also expect the price will drop to 399 around the end of 2027, which would be a good time to release new models. A switch 2 lite that's dockable for 349 and a switch 2 home for 299 could be huge.

The Switch 1 got a price cut in the UK/EU in after 4 years, but not in the USA. Over 8 years after launch it is still $299 RRP. If they didn't cut the Switch price after all that time I really don't see the Switch 2 getting a price cut of $50 just 2.5 years after launch. Especially with the way everything is now.

PS5 and Xbox both receiving price hikes after launch (outside the USA at least). I think expecting any consoles to get price cuts anytime soon is wishful thinking. I'd honestly give it a higher chance of increasing in price in 2027 than decreasing.

That's a poor comparison. The switch never droped in price due to unique circunstances. But right off the bat the switch 2 is at a weird price. It is on Nintendo's best interest to lower it to 399 as soon as possible. It's also likely sold at some profit while they were breaking even with the switch. Makes it quicker to lower the price.
