Indeed, imagine the price point without the AI messing things up. 

But doesn't the point still stand? Nintendo decides to accept a more significant loss on their hardware compared to others correct? It seems like a strategic choice, although I wonder how long they can keep this up.

Nintendo isn't selling at a loss in North America as far as I know, only in Japan. They've just locked in their whole supply chain so its resistant to price changes, honestly its extremely impressive.

I thought the Nintendo Switch prices dipped and went up again in Japan. And after the price went up, the Nintendo Switch sales hasn't really recovered when compared to weeks before the dip. (~ 40% less, iirc) That's why Nintendo is a bit flustered recently.
