There were Nintendo fans here savage about pricepoint because they thought it wouldn't sell. I was actually surprised by the backlash because I thought $300 for a new console was reasonable for a new console.

When you have plenty of people, few people (that are actually usually more negative) don't change nothing, huge majority of Nintendo fans didnt said it want sell at this price point. Some backlash come from rumor that price point of Switch will probably be $250.

True, I should know better. I often make this complaint when people try and tarnish a whole fanbase because of what a few people have said.

Interesting. So why is it €299 on Amazon FR?

From same reason (maybe lower tax point) its seems that Switch is cheaper on Amazon FR in hole Europe, for instance in Germany is €319.

That doesn't apply for countries of the eurozone though. Both consoles cost about 300 €.

Where you live, PS4 cost 250€, not 300€, and Switch still cost 330€.

Do you know why i know this? Because i like in your country.

Not really. Are you sure you are living in Italy ?

You can get a Switch at 285€ or 295€ (PS4 starts at 254€) at Amazon.it

Great that Xbox surpassed its own records for January, but what can Microsoft do to leap-frog both Sony and Nintendo, in its own home territory, no doubt??

This thread has made me realize that a few users really incorrectly use the words "lots" or "a lot" when referring to people on this site lol. I see "lots" when referring to 1 at times 2 and mostly no more than 3 people quite often lol. Just an observation.

OT:

Still no new info huh.......shoot.

The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
