Is $450 really overpriced when the console standard for this gen was $500 to begin with and a base PS5 now costs $650 though?

The Switch 1's original price tag of $300 would cost $400 today adjusted for inflation, not much different from Switch 2.

50 % increase is a lot. It's not terrible (the game pricing for Switch 2 Editions is though) but I would consider the console itself just a smidge overpriced as well (at the time of its release).

The increase primarily comes from the decline in the value of our currency; it is only a $50 increase in adjusted dollars, and indeed it is only $50 more than what the Switch 1 OLED costs now.
