The telling thing is that Nintendo is not planning to reduce the price of the Switch. Hopefully they will drop the price when the Switch 2 comes out, or we may have different definitions of "affordable".

The Switch currently sells for $300 and the OLED. In order to keep selling, those systems need to be significantly cheaper than the backwards compatible Switch 2, which would mean that the Switch 2 has to be sold for at least $400 (if not $450).

My bets are placed on $399
