I do wonder how consumers will respond to the 450$ price tag of Switch 2. While the argument that Switch 1 would be close to the same price of 450$ if it released in 2025 due to inflation is true, to average consumers I don't think they notice that even as incomes increase with inflation, they just view it as more expensive straight up then even the 300$ Switch they saw in 2017. A good part of Switch's sales also are from 2nd purchases, it's gonna be harder to pull that off with a higher price tag like this.

At the same time tho, the Switch Oled was 350$ and still outsold the other cheaper Switch's. Of course alot of that could be 2nd purchases, but it shows that when it comes to the Switch the consumers are less price sensitive and will be willing to spend anything to play on Switch.
