So .. with the recent price hike of the one of the current gen systems, and very likely the Switch 2 soon, Switch 1 will be the most affordable system by a long shot. At just 230$ for the Lite or just 340$ for the OG model, this might be enough to prolong it sales .. for how long however? The Switch 2 price will most likely go up if not by 100$, then surely by at least 70$. So the cheapest gaming system above the Switch 1 will be close to 200$ more, and if you look at handhelds, then around 300$ more, which is big. And even if you compare the OG model instead of the Lite, the difference will again be a whopping 200$.
