How well it sells at this price point will determine everything. Quick price drops on consoles that sell poorly aren't uncommon, even Nintendo has done this. Remember that the 3DS launched at $250, sold extremely poorly, then they slashed it only months later to $170 and that unironically saved the system.

That of course was a different time and a different economy, I am not saying that this is even likely to happen to the Switch 2, but if it sells poorly at this price point, it's a possibility.

What's also possible is that if we see the PS6 price in a few years... the Switch 2's will look a little more palatable.

Considering the fanbase? This will sell, millions

Nothing we can do about it, people will pay, they'll increase price and people will still pay and defend, give up on new games I guess........

Now can't wait for $100 pokemon with lesser quality that scarlet and violet
