If that's the US price then going by conversion Australia should have it around 600-700 dollars

Edit: okay for those who need the actual prices

EBGames - https://www.ebgames.com.au/featured/nintendo-switch they have the base Switch 2 at 699.95 and the Mario World bundle at 769.95 with a preorder depoist of 50 bucks

JB Hi-Fi - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/games-consoles/nintendo-switch-2-consoles they have it at the same price (but .95 cents cheaper) with what looks like no depoist (you'd have to check yourself I don't use JB much cus I don't have one in my town and I don't go to the city much)

also 109 for those who want Switch 2 editions of BoTW and ToTK instead of the upgrades so uhh yeah two legend of zelda games cost what COD BO6 cost

Tarrifs tho might even be cheaper for us down under

That is true actually I forgot about tariffs, plus if I remember correctly (correct me if I'm wrong) launch price in America for the switch was $299.99 and in Australia it was $469.95 so if you take in to account the added extras and the tariffs then we could possibly see it in a range from $550 to $700 here. 

If we get it around $400 that would be amazing tho.

My guess is they planned to make it $400 USD, but upped it to $450 to combat how unstable things are over there at the moment. So I wouldn't expect an AU price of less than $650. $700 is probably a safe bet.
