Nintendo has a stranglehold on their game distribution and keep their software prices high. They would 100% be in a position for Switch 2 to be a loss leader.

How much loss though, $500+ devices can’t even do PS4 pro graphics and at a terrible (90min ish) battery life, and they are big/heavy. Plus Nintendo historically never sold their devices at a loss, even when they had total market dominance.
