The Switch 2 is unlikely to be priced any lower than $349, the current cost of an OLED Switch model. $399 seems like a safe bet — the same price as the base Steam Deck. Any more than this and Nintendo will face uncomfortable comparisons to the new wave of PC handhelds.

The Switch 2 has officially made its debut, and we're so excited. Even so, we're still on the edge of our seat waiting to know these three things.
