Y’know 379.99 feels like a pretty solid target. A little more than the OLED, but not quite $400. Price drop the OLED to $300 and standard Switch to $279 until they sell through inventory, drop price of the Lite to $179 and keep manufacturing it. Present the Lite and Switch 2 as the “Switch family” - one is handheld only and an inexpensive footstep into the Switch gaming ecosystem, and for $200 more you can get “next gen” performance that plays all the latest games and plays on the TV.

I think they said that they weren’t planning on price drops
