Must be the reason I paid 50 bucks for PSVita and 299 for Switch.

Considering Vita sold less than 20% of what PSP sold, most of the fanbase thought it was overpriced so I have no idea where you have that so many people think that PSVita was well priced.

Switch case make it worse on itself when you have NVidia shield and some knockoffs of similar power being cheaper than it. Plus Nintendo long story of hardly taking any loss on HW while Sony almost always take loss.

So sure we can discuss as much as we want if PSVita was worth 250 (If I thought it was I wouldn't have waited until like 5 years later to buy it in a pawn shop) but most likely it costed Sony about as much to make it.

See above before trying to be smart.

Looks like you don't often play Nintendo Switch. I have a Nvidia Shield, a Psvita and a Nintendo Switch. The graphic difference is frightening, not to mention the screen better than both, not to mention offering two factory controls. The value of the Nintendo Switch is so readily apparent that it still has the same price as the generation leader, no problem. A more powerful console, yet people see value that the product delivers and don't find it expensive.

"2 controls"

Being a generation ahead of PSVita it is expected that it have better graphics so not sure what you are trying to get from this.

Having the same price as the leade should mean something?

iPhones are much more expensive than several other smartphones that are better HW than itself, by your argument since it have a higher price than the most sold ones and also sells a lot then its price is right? Makes no sense.

You are paying more for the HW than something Sony or MS would make because those 2 companies take a hit on the price of the HW, paying more for the SW since the cartridge add on the pricetag plus Nintendo takes longer to discount games when they do. But I can't think it is overpriced? So you prefer to call PS4 or X1 underpriced or over delivering in value?
