Seems impossible now. With a price increase in NA and a very successful S2 launch i would be shocked if it passes 158 life time.

Where are you getting this information from?

There is no definitive evidence that the Nintendo Switch (original, OLED, or Lite models) is expected to see a price increase in the United States in 2025. However, recent developments suggest potential price adjustments for related products due to market conditions and tariffs, though nothing has been confirmed for the U.S. market specifically for the original Switch family.

• Canada Price Changes: Nintendo has announced price changes for the original Nintendo Switch family (Switch, Switch OLED, Switch Lite), games, accessories, amiibo, and Nintendo Switch Online memberships in Canada, effective August 1, 2025, citing "market conditions." While the announcement doesn't explicitly confirm an increase, the context and phrasing strongly suggest price hikes. Specific new prices will be revealed on Nintendo's Canadian website on August 1, 2025. This has led to speculation about whether similar changes could occur in the U.S., given the close economic ties between the two markets.
• U.S. Market for Original Switch: Unlike Canada, no official announcement has been made regarding price changes for the original Switch family in the U.S. The lack of a price cut for the original Switch, which launched in 2017 at $300 and remains at that price, has been noted as unusual, as Nintendo consoles typically see price reductions over time. Some speculate that the introduction of the Nintendo Switch 2 and potential tariff impacts could lead to price adjustments, but no concrete plans have been confirmed.

Taken from Grok, as of right now the only place that has an official price increase in Canada, no where else.
