In theory they can go with 6" screen $350 Switch 2 Lite, with profit. Whether they'll actually do it at that price is another question.

Maybe I don’t understand costs of production… but I feel like that price tag would likely not even be enough to cover the cost for RAM and internal storage, especially not in late-2027/2028. Am I wrong on this?

Current estimates for RAM+storage for Switch 2 are around $80-100...which makes sense, since off the shelf you can buy similar thing for PC for ~$130. That might go up though, so I was talking about pricing in current memory climate.

So, currently, yeah, they are more than able to make $350 Switch 2 Lite, which is in line with Switch to Switch Lite pricing. I believe that would be sensible thing for them to do, even if they "only" break even or loose a bit money on it. Of course, if memory costs keep on rising, anything goes.
