Ok, this is perspective on how launch prices compare, but to put a console's price in perspective you surely need to consider not only the price but also how it stacks to the competition.
The Switch is relatively cheap for a "launch price", but for what it actually represents as a home console it is just a little bit over specs of an Xbox 360 which has a current value of ~$150. If Switch was only a home console with no tablet screen, etc. the price should be around the $200 mark.
As is (today) the Switch is the most expensive console in the market while being much weaker. It's also a really expensive handheld.
It is really in a unique spot being as a hybrid: good value for filling two shoes; poor value as either one alone.
