Maybe in the Holidays, but not with that launch.
because you can buy a PS4 or Xbox for under 270 and they comes with a game(s) and a established librarySo- can someone help me understand why 299USD is a bad price point? I'm not from the US (i'm actually from Norway and it's gonna be a lot more expensive here) so maybe that's why i'm missing the point. Anyway. I gathered some information on other consoles introductory prices:
PS4 - 399USD
Xbox One - 499USD
Wii U - 349USD
3DS - 249USD
Vita - 249USD (299USD for 3G-version)
Switch - 299USD
I'm not trying to offend anyone, i just don't get why some people hate so much on the price. I think 299USD sounds about right.
Btw, on topic: I can see it go either way but leaning towards a good outcome with 3DS-numbers. Once Pokémon, Mario, Animal Crossing, MH etc. hits it's probably gonna sell pretty fast. I can definitely see 2018 being a bigger year for it though.

Probably a Wii U level bomb. It has the worst features of Nintendo hardware I've seen: Too weak to be a console, too expensive to be a handheld, overpriced accessories and now, paid online even though Nintendo's online is a joke compared to MS or Sony. I have no idea who the hell Nintendo expects to buy this outside of the hardcore fans, and as we've seen with the Wii U and Gamecube that number of devotees shrinks with each passing Gen barring the Wii outlier.
Maybe a price drop will completely turn around its fortunes like with the 3DS, maybe...
3DS was the successor to DS and its sales were slow as hell out the gate because it was priced at $250. Nintendo then slashed the price to $170 and sales took off.
Because it's significantly weaker than the PS4 and One and those came out years ago. It's also probably not going to get the third party support those systems got either.So- can someone help me understand why 299USD is a bad price point?

Only 32GB, paid online that doesn't even have any real advantage, and likely a myriad of Nintendo Fad(tm)? Nope, no way.
In fact...

You honestly believe Switch is going to match Xbox One in LTD sales?
I just don't see it based off of what has been shown and announced so far. We will have to wait and see though.

It's sounding like they're selling out their preorders so that's pretty good for them.
My biggest concern, where is monster hunter switch?
Two interrelated answers:
What the PS4 and Xbox One cost at launch is largely irrelevant. The Switch will now be going up against bigger (arguably much better) game lineups this holiday season at a way lower price. The Switch isn't competing with a PS4 at $400 or X1 at $500, it's competing with the PS4/X1 that's going to be sub-$250 this holiday season with a game packed in.
Ain't nobody but Nintendo fanboys gonna drop $400 for Zelda in an off-month when the PS4 is gonna have...
Nioh
For Honor
Lego Worlds
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Nier: Automata
Ghost Recon
Mass Effect
Kingdom Hearts
Persona 5
Yooka-Laylee
Dragon Quest Heroes 2
...in just Feb-April window alone. This shit is laughable.

I think even the Nintendo die-hards will balk at picking this up early. If they have a Wii U, they can play Zelda for $60 vs $360+. In addition, Wii U online is free -- so there have to be major updates to Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 to justify the cost. It really hinges on Mario, assuming it comes out this year. Even then, it will be a system for Nintendo fans only.

The Wii u in US had two bundles at launch. The cheapest one was 8GB with no game, and the $350 bundle came with Nintendoland game, 32GB, and a stand. Nintendo was selling the Wii u at a loss at launch.So- can someone help me understand why 299USD is a bad price point?
