It will only turn around if Nintendo are forced into accepting that they need to turn it around, just like the PS3 and Xbone. It took really low preorders/sales for Sony/MS to make drastic changes to the PS3 and Xbone. Problem is, is that it's not just the console itself, but the games too. 80$ for kirby and the forgotten land? That game launched in 2022 and It's more expensive than DK Bananza! Sadly, i think it's going to take 3DS 250$ or Wii U level disaster for them to eat humble pie and change course

Lowering/adjusting software pricing is no huge deal, you can do that any time if you want.

The hardware pricing ... people just need to accept times have changed and Nintendo serves a more premium, older market base these days. $450 is about correct for a Switch 2, that's not some massive overprice, it's not some junk hardware with bottom of the barrel components, it's decent enough hardware and asking a fair price for it is reasonable.

Do I believe MKWorld justifies its $80 price tag? Absolutely yes! However, I do not support Nintendo’s decision to enforce such a price hike, as it serves as the “precedent setter.” Once Sony and other devs start pumping up to $80, then we will see the consequences of this MK price tag.
As far as the system itself is concerned? It is nowhere near “overpriced.” It still sits firmly below PS5 and XBSX in terms of cost ($450 v $500) despite offering a far stronger stream of games.

If games aren't selling, it's very easy to drop the prices. 

I am not convinced there is a pricing problem or disaster when it comes to the hardware. The Switch 2 is much cheaper than comparable gaming handhelds, much closer to its ostensible competition than the Switch 1 was, and offers great value for the $450 price. 

The wild card is tariffs, but those will affect all electronics. Nintendo's just more at risk because they are launching a platform during them. 

You have to pull back and view what is happening on a macro level.

When Switch was revealed, everyone was glowing, gushing, head-over-heels in love with the thing, similar to Wii. It was the console you had to have, and you had to actually try and find negative press/opinions because it was so universally accepted. 

That is not so with Switch 2. All you're seeing is negative feedback. It's one bad thing after another... and that is never a good thing.

As I've said before, Nintendo already had their hands full due to the Switch being a cross-over, culturally-important device because usually, the follow up to those consoles fail. And that was made even more dire by the fact that they pretty much just designed a Switch Pro and called it Switch 2 (too similar). Now, they've decided to stick a price-tag on the system and games that people are unhappy about and well... it's going to be interesting.

Sorry, I was alive in and remember 2016/2017. That is certainly not what happened. Many people thought it was Nintendo's last console and were hoping they'd go the way of Sega.
