I think people are exaggerating just how bad the switch will perform. The single biggest thing the switch has going for it is that its actually a great handheld console that can also be used as a home console. It literally means there is no need for a 3ds or a wiiU.... so at the very least it will sell a lot better than the wiiU and at least half as good as the 3DS.

The only real issue i see with the switch is the price. If they bring its accessories down in price and can get the console itself to around $200-$230 then it will be a really really hot seller. I would even but one at that price just for the Nintendo games and it puts it in the handheld impulse buy price bracket.

I honestly cant see what about it makes it cost $300 if not just for ninty greed. No BR drive, No HDD. Using mobile phone LPDDR3 ram. only 32GB of internal flash storage. a 720pc LCD screen.. A dock that does nothing me than serve as a cradle and passthrough.... like they could just as easily made a USB type C to HDMI cable to connect it to the TV.

So why is it so expensive?

Think the game prices are enough for people to steer away from imo.

They should have included a NINTENDO SWITCH SPORTS with the console, a Wii Sports with tons of mini-games in HD. That would ensure good sales

Talk to any young gamers under age of 15..... Mobile is there main platform of choice.

Except the ones that are still buying a 3DS for some reason.

With all the crying and whining I have done about the Switch I still went out and got my pre order in. Why you may ask? Because all of Nintendo's IP's will be on one system. One purchase will satisfy my Nintendo cravings. One purchase will satiate my hunger for Nintendo fun. One purchase will give me unlimited potential to play where and how I want. The pro's of the Nintendo Switch far outweigh the con's.

Welcome back, kirby.

It'll flop unless Nintendo makes the effort to lower its price tag. I'll wait on purchasing the Switch 'til then.

I'd rather die.
