A few points.
- I really like the Switch name.
- I agree if it sells for under $200 it will be a big success, but I can't imagine how this would be possible.
* Cheap tablets can, but they don't have detachable controller, docking station, and mid to high end mobile specs like Switch will.
* Which raises the question, does everything come bundled together at launch (Switch, two joy cons, dock, and center piece for joy con console controller?
- For a lot of people, the Switch will never leave the dock.
- Nintendo Switch mini, basically same hardware with smaller screen, and no detachable joy cons is inevitable. I wonder if it would fit the dock though. Maybe this isn't in the cards.

I also like the name, it's simple and to the point and it describes the product well, unlike Wii or Wii U, which doesn't really mean anything coherent.

And I'm one of those who will leave it in the dock all the time. I wonder how much peripherals cost though, Nintendo are famous for charging a ridiculous premium for controllers and other gear, when Wiimote + launched, the entire kit with nunchuck, wiimote and plus add-on would cost about half of what the actual console did.
