I don’t personally find the price of the switch to be unjustified. It’s €470 where I am and for that I’m getting 256GB storage and a device with 1080p resolution in handheld, 4k docked and up to 120fps. The equivalent (non oled) steam deck model costs €400, has a handheld resolution of 800p, only does 60fps and you can forget getting anywhere near 4k whilst connected to a monitor/TV. So i don’t really get the big deal. I’m getting double the resolution and FPS for €70 more, seems like a fair deal! The game prices are another thing I guess but i tend to agree with you on that one too.
Overseas I don't think the price for the console itself is that unreasonable, but it's going to be a tough ask for many Japanese consumers given how weak the yen is over here. ¥50,000 is only $330 USD at today's exchange rates, but against the cost of living here it's a lot. That's one reason why I don't think the Switch 2 will be as big of a success as the original model. I'll still try to get my hands on one though.
