Fact is you can still get it for this so called handheld price of 250 you keep mentioning. Anyway i wouldn't call 300 the standard launch price for consoles. Ps3 was 600, ps4 400, ps2 400, 360 500, xb1 500, the Wii 250, wii u 350, game cube 200. Psp 226, Vita 300, DS 150 and the 3ds 150. As you can see prices for portable consoles and home consoles are all over the place. Switch being sold for 300 and 250 in no way suggests its either a portable or traditional home console based on price alone. That's just fact. |
No, I dont mentione $250 all the time, I mention $200, also that $250 price is without charger, dock and cables (so you need to pay at least $50 extra just for buying seperate charger), so you would need to be crazy to buy that for $250 instead hole package for just $50 more. I didnt said that $300 is standard home console price point but $300 is price point of home consoles not handhelds, Switch is not cheaper than Nintendo home consoles (there is no point comparing it with Sony consoles because Sony consoles were always more expansive than Nintendo consoles in any case), so last 3 Nintendo home console, GC had price point of $200, Wii $250, Wii U (model whithout bundled game) $300. Again like I wrote, 3DS had price point of $250 and didnt sell and thats why need to have huge price drop to $170-180 only 6 months after launch in order to start selling. So again clear fact, Switch has price point Nintendo home console not handheld, also again, $300 for handheld is still far away from mass market price point for handheld devaice (again its good price for hybrid but not for handheld).
Also one of main reasons why Nintendo actually pushing Switch like home console on first place is price point of Switch and Switch games, and fact is that Switch has price point for hardware and software of home consoles not handhelds so Nintendo pushing Switch like home console on first place.
