They never learn? It was painful...

It is basically the same price as the launch Wii U, $350-$360 with a game, I'm assuming people are going to buy a game obviously.

You just get to choose the game.

They are going to make money with this and keep a good market share. There is a significant market for handhelds and only one other significant player there. Nintendo has a large number of followers that they just concentrated in the same pool, for one single product. While I do not like what they have done, as it does not appeal to me, I think they they make a lot of money with that, selling probably 60-80 millions of this thing.
People might not be happy, but it will sell.

3DS isn't even sniffing 80 million and that was $169.99 or less or a big majority of its lifecycle. 

Nintendo should start doing market research. So they could avoid fatal mistakes like the Wii-U and Switch.

Yeah, but the 2 pools of customers have been merged into one, they will loose some of their customer and get new ones; then the prices will drop with leaner skus. They will need to admit at a certain point that they are not selling home consoles anymore, and sell it "nude".

And wrong about many other things as well.

such as?

I think even with mistakes it'll sell better than Wii U just because it's actually portable, but it's no Wii/DS type thing either.

Oh for sure, because a system that fuses their handheld and console divisions, meaning all the games the 3ds got minimum, much better consumer and developer reception, and with 2 system sellers in 9 months of each other, all of that means the Switch will suffer the same fate as the Wii U because it's not as powerful as the vast minority want it to be. I mean it's not like the inferior (In terms of power) PS1, PS2, or Wii had any trouble dominating their respective generations. Man I swear the posters in these forums really think their opinions are gospel and irrefutable eh, especially when it comes to Nintendo. I mean it's no different from gaming journalist articles, nothing but clickbait/letting off steam. Meanwhile the reception everywhere else on the internet (Youtube, Facebook, Twitter) has been overwhelmingly positive.
