They increased the price because they realized they could make more than they initially thought. Inflation too.

Switch 2 and PS3 are in completely different situations; Nintendo isn't trying to push a format like PS3 was with Blu Ray, and they're selling on portability rather than pushing high end power.

There were absolutely poor calculations involved with the PS3, but they decided to take those losses because they thought it would be worth it in the long run.

You just keep reacting and adjusting after explaining how business supposedly works. Just like all these business decisions I've been pointing out that were poor and wrong that led to adjustments. Yet your point is that Nin is right and is doing what is right for their business. My point is that I think Nin got it a bit wrong, mostly just with some of the pricing. My point is based on what I feel is not only in the best interest of the gamers, but also Nin in the long run, and not selfishness.

I'd much rather see more SW2 units sold than SW1, vs only seeing around say, 100M sales, give or take. The more gamers the merrier, no?

Nintendo would know better than you or I what price point would benefit them most. 

You insist that they'd be better off at $400, but your conclusion seems to be based on vibes rather than any actual evidence since we don't have the necessary data to make such a conclusion.
