Well if I get the Uncharted bundle($380) and get 1 game ($80), and a controller ($75) and with my tax rate. It'll cost me a little over $600.... that's almost $150 cheaper... 

You are buying 2 games for the Switch and only one game for the PS4. The comparison is flawed. 

Ya, I would say if you do not want to get Switch at Launch just wait for PS4 like bundle with the Switch where you get a game.

But he's getting the same amount of games. Nintendo should have a launch deal that gives a reduced price in exchange for the console, 1-2-Switch and Breath of the Wild.

Well what would it cost you to buy a PS4, an extra controller and two new games in Canada?

Why are you buying a second controller?  That's a single player game.  Tell someone to bring their own controller.  I wouldn't buy controllers specifically for other people.  That's crazy.  Not when they're 60 dollars.

I think only the most die hard Nintendo fans will be getting one at launch. If Nintendo wants this thing to succeed, they're going to have to pull a 3DS price cut sometime this year.

Original Poster. Your Very Very Lucky for your cost!

I have to buy 5 switches. At Australian Dollars the Switch is $470 ( if you convert from American Dollars thats an extra $50) times by 5 is $2350. That's without a single game. Without a single protective cover. Without a Pro Controller.

Why do I have to buy 5. Because everyone in my household is a Nintendo Gamer. And I cannot just get myself one. I have to get one for everyone. Those are my orders!

I think you shouldn't be complaining to much. On the upside for me I'll have at least 3 Docks to sell on ebay lol.

Because $400 is cheap? I've seen an XB1 for $279 here before, so its definently a bit OP here.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
