Except I don't believe the Switch is a system where the appeal is restricted to Nintendo fans (like the Wii U was). This may be anecdotal, but I have quite a number of friends and family members around my age (about 17 people) that have not had a Nintendo system since the GBA (which is the last Nintendo system most of them owned), DS (and a good number of these friends purchased a DS but a decent amount also went for the PSP or did not purchase any portable system) and some of them Wii. These are people that readily bought a PS3 and Xbox 360 (some also have a PS4 and XONE) and only one of them had a 3DS (none of them got a Wii U). In this group of friends, nearly all of them have either bought a Switch or are waiting to get one (8 have already purchased a Switch; the rest are either planning on picking it up for the holidays or waiting until next year). In addition, this system has far more momentum than any Nintendo system that was largely picked up by the fans. Yes it is still too early to predict that the system will be success (like some who I have seen predicting 60+ million; and I have my reservations because of the system's price and value proposition) but from what I have seen the appeal of this system goes far beyond systems that largely attracted just Nintendo fans (like Wii U and Gamecube). The word of mouth regarding the system is good, the press surrounding the system is positive, and it offers something that the other two don't (powerful portable); so it has a lot of potential to be successful (but again it is way too early to call it for certain, because there are still a number of unknown variables as well).

Pro really seems to be gunning for the S...and that's in the U.S...mighty impressive. Crazy even.

hrhrhr you made me chuckle. 

Yeah..makes one wonder if it's Amazon tactics.

Yes that $50 discount packed with a free game has helped the consumers make their choice. Sony will see that at 399.99 they can't compete with the X because the X is more powerful so they have to discount the pro to entice people. 

I don't think they ever thought they could, or wanted to. Everybody actually was already expecting a permanent price drop to combat the 1X's launch...I even think they will announce one at PSX in 2 weeks!

That's the beauty of cheaper hardware that already has been out for a year. The new 7100 model is more silent, less power hungry and cheaper to produce, so they can easily drop the price now. 

And of course, following along with that logic, MS have had to reduce the price of the XB1 to $190 to compete against the more expensive Pro and the PS4 ...

i gave enough reasons.

1: mobile m will limit handheld growth, and we will continue to the market shrinking

2: nintedo home consoles since the 3r era have had there best year the first year, GC, N64, AND WIIU.

3 :Most nintedo fans will buy switch first year, because it has the essentials  zelda, mario, mario kart, and splatoon, 3 of those are the highest rated games of time ,and nintedo has never released so many of there biggest franchises in one year, thats are this highly acclaimed 

Tbh I'm positive MS will soon have to drop the price of the X1X as well, if they want to stay competitive with the Pro. 

A 150-200 dollar gap is too much for most people.

GUYS! I'm about to cave on the $350 White Pro! HELP!!!!

Pikachu uses Thunderbolt... "Its super effective"
