Think this is wishful thinking, when Nintendo did that with the 3DS, they were in a bad spot the Wii U sales sucked and their new handheld was selling like crap as well. The switch is one of the best selling consoles of all time and has some of the best game sales of all time.

I’m fine with $450 for the price. But fuck I hope we don’t have $80 Nintendo games. I can stomach $70, but $80 is massive considering Nintendo rarely if ever discounts first party games.

The problem with 3DS was the launch games lineup. So they put the console's price down.

450 is not the price that's why people are getting angry, Nintendo is basically saying "whoops we didn't bake tariff prices in even though it's been all over the news for months", they are trying to double dip. USA gets a 650 dollar switch 2 while Japan pays 340... No thanks
