There really isn't a contemporary device in which to compare. 

True, which just means that in that sense it's valuable and not overpriced.

Production costs is the other thing we can look at. "Thanks to a new report from Japanese firm Fomalhaut, we now know that the manufacturing cost for the Nintendo Switch is roughly $257"

So the Switch at launch cost $257 to make and was sold at $299, clearly not overpriced. 

Considering X1 and PS4 launched with about 50USD loss and Switch 50 USD profit, you can understand why I call it overpriced. It is about 100 USD gap between it and the other 2. Thus why for me Switch should have costed 199 at launch. The dock and HDMI cable are "pennies" in the cost.

If Switch was overpriced nobody would buy it, its as simple as that.
Just look at the first months of the 3DS for comparison.

Judging by the numbers its very clearly not.

Being overpriced have no bearing in how many people want to buy it. iPhones are a very clear example of being overpriced and selling well compared to similar products from competitors.
