$10 manufacturing cost could easily add $100 by the time it gets to retail & we're still in the middle of a silicon shortage that has caused some components to go up in price by 10x.

If people buy it at the new price then good for nintendo.

Well that's one way to fight inflation (offset BOM inflation with MSRP inflation).

Essentially a price increase hidden by a modest upgrade.

I'm assuming they aren't going to continue selling three models.

no it's the kickstand that costs $10 more the rest they don't have a clue about. just like they had no clue a switch pro was going to be released instead spreading false rumors all over the net. don't believe a word these fools say

i guess they gotta increase profit somewhere amidst all the chip shortages...
