It can be timed exclusive at least.
still wouldn't help matters. Especially if that 3D Mario game is at launch. You need that Mii game to appeal to the Wii/Miitomo crowd, assuming they remember.
So you can walk into a game store this coming March and buy a Switch + Breath of the Wild for cheaper than a WiiU + Breath of the Wild.
lol
Its true there is a certain expectation for the prices of Nintendo consoles, Kimishima agreed. Our developers put a lot into them, but we can not sell at a loss. The final price is determined by balancing these two conflicting ideas. I dont believe its as simple as because this is a new platform, we can make it more expensive.'

Zelda is such a big game that they will probably sell it separately to make big bucks on it.
That game is too expensive to bundle
The premium system is more expensive, and likely 80 percent of that increase comes from the cost of the game, they would still be making a lot of money on the game. If it's just some extra storage space, we all know that doesn't amount to much in actual cost. It would only be unusual if all the units had it regardless.

Then they would need to shell out money to the company, for a likely far less popular title. For Nintendo, the cost of updating and bundling one of their own titles is likely far less than paying a dev a fee for every console sold, which I believe is standard practice.

Both our sources have told us that additional Switch Pro Controllers are expected to sell at launch for £39.99 at GAME.
Pack-in will be to 99% a new IP in the vein of Wii Sports/Nintendo Land. They want you to buy Mario Kart, Zelda, Splatoon etc. desperately - thats where they make their money.
Sounds about right. Sign me up for a tree-hundo version.
I still think Mario Sports Superstars Switch is the game. Be a shame to let it just be a 3DS-only game when it could have so many different ways to utilize the online, local, and portable local multiplayer out the box. Don't really see them doing a Switch version just to release to retail on it's own, though.
Great price imo, definitely peaked my interest in it.

So the £250 version will have how much internal storage? 64GB? Plus an extra £40 for a proper controller....$290.
You can get PS4 1TB + CoD for £266.
But man I really want to play Zelda. I hope that is the pack in game.
Desperately?
It would be a gesture for third parties, not a decision based on money.
Maybe the more expensive with more internal memory will have Skyrim or another 3rd party hardcore game.
If Nintendo decides to pack in a mini game collection to show off the gimmick then it will be in both SKUS
I'm still on the boat that puts these as educated guesses and not actual facts or inside sources. Direct conversion prices are a dream for one thing. A strong Yen, tanking GBP make this an impractical, nay - impossible feat.
Try and find the median price point for any controller in the U.K. for either Xbox or PS4 - £39.99. Why would they go outside this for a guess?
So this is likely scenario then
£200
Switch with 64GB Internal Memory
£250
Switch with 128GB Internal Memory
Pack in New IP
Uses all Switch Gimmicks
- 2 Player Local Multiplayer using Detachable controllers
- Local Multiplayer between multiple Switch devices
- Optional touchscreen control scheme
- Optional Pointer control scheme
- Optional Gyro control scheme
uhm...
honestly, I would have expected a "premium" sku at 250 EUR with baseline going for 229 (or even 200)...
Instead we get..
299 pound for premium sku..
which if they do a 1 pound : 1 eur conversion, is 300 eur for premium sku (without any game, without secondary controller) but i fear they might do a 1 pound : 1.20 eur conversion..

we'll see..
I want it for sure as a collector, but I cannot justify switch at more than 300 WITHOUT A SINGLE GAME..
comparatively speaking, I was able to snatch ps4 with killzone shadowfall, secondary controller and movement bar for 390 at launch...
paying 300eur (or more if they don't do a 1:1 conversion) for a nintendo console without secondary controller, without any game bundled and with spec that might still NOT be on bar with the current gen definitely irks me the wrong way....
