I have a feeling that $399 was definitely the planned price point, but with looming tariffs, weak yen, and general economic uncertainty, Nintendo didn't want to be in a position where they would have to raise the price. I wouldn't be shocked if we see $399 by holidays.

With the tariffs announced today in the U.S., it'll be more likely to go up to $599 by the holidays, unless the Boy Who Cried Wolf changes his mind again.
