PS4: $250 (sale) - $299 (regular) with bundled game
One: $250 (sale) - $299 (regular) with bundled game
Switch: $250 (presumably no game)
So, explain to me how $250 is the perfect price for this thing again? If it's $250 it needs a game packed in. Average consumers will probably not care much that it's a 2-in-1 if their majority use case is a home console and it's surpassed by value by the competition.
I like how so many of you are ignoring the portability just because it doesn't fit into your narrative of the price point being too high.
The average consumer has no problem with laptops being more expensive than desktops for the same performance.

Yet suddenly the Switch will trip them up because reasons. And before you bring up the Vita, it had a number of issues that were only exacerbated by it's pricepoint
1. It was clearly receiving "handheld versions" of console titles. Resistance Lite, Uncharted Lite, Assassin's Creed Lite, etc
2. It wasn't really getting Sony's full support. Looking at the difference between it and the 3DS, even around their launches, was night and day
3. It never really got it's own series that made it worthwhile (i.e. Pokemon, MonHunter, etc) and the few games it did were later ported/moved exclusively to consoles (i.e. Gravity Rush)
