Nintendo forecast this year to earn about as much profits this year compared to last year (when they only had a low selling Switch 1 on the market), that means that far from price gouging with the Switch 2 they are likely not making much profits at all from Switch 2 sales in Japan and the US (Due to tariffs). Probably only in Europe does the Switch 2 have decent profit margins.
So the irony is, it seems from the info we have from Sony and Nintendo's fiscal reports, Sony is making more profits from selling PS5 at its current price point compared to Nintendo selling Switch 2 at its current price point.
