At $500, the system would cost as much as a PlayStation 5 or XBox Series X and Nintendo would not be able to sell it as a low cost alternative. It would also be a 60% price increase over the previous generation. I would expect $400 and hope for $350.

I am ready for the battery life to keep getting worse, especially at the lower end of the range (so from 2.5-6.5 down to 2-6).

No graphics or performance improvement for old games running on the Switch 2 unless the publisher puts out a Switch 2 specific patch. Nintendo would rather have ugly games that work as expected rather than pretty games that introduce new bugs.
