$450 for a Switch 2 isn't "terrible". You're getting one of the more capable and featured portable gaming systems on the market, with likely 8 years or more of software support. Not at all a bad deal.

I could probably use a similar justification for a lot of things and still feel bad about the price. More importantly, I fully expect each Switch 2 console to be more profitable to Nintendo than each Switch console was at launch. If anyone has proper data on this, I certainly wouldn't mind being proven wrong though (the only result a very quick search yielded was a Reddit post that seemed unclear on whether the comparison was being made to the Swich 1 launch situation or its current situation).

The reality is that everything costs more now than it did 5+ years ago due to inflation, and Nintendo is not immune to that.

If they were charging like $599 for it that'd be one thing, but $450 isn't unreasonable for what you get and the current economic circumstances.
