Its a placeholder pricing,
considering Nintento focus on affordability i doubt they will be unwise enough to sell it more than $450.
the current price line up with my early guess is that'll be sold at either $399 (or at most $449)
That way, Switch lite $200, Switch normal $300, Switch Pro $400.
And why its line up? because you can't simply convert Euro to USD to get the proper USD region pricing estimate.
This site knew about it and intentionally avoid mentioning it to get clickbait article. Why i know they knew? because they intentional remove PS5 euro pricing.
PS5 is sold for 399 USD and 399 EUR. This should give you good idea how much switch will cost in USD region (if you believe that placeholder pricing).
the original $300 switch is getting replaced by the new model. $399 is a bit higher than the price targets I saw, it's aiming for $349.99 to $379.99. don't expect a huge performance boost, but it will have much flexibility to run at higher resolutions (1440p dlss on soc + 4k upscaler built into new dock) and run at lower resolutions but higher framerates with dlss upscaling to 1080. This requires developers to push patches though. Controllers are unchanged, same joycons as before. Same drift issues. There's simply no potentiaometers on the market that fit in controllers and don't suffer from issues.
